ve timing

[bloodhound51]

i have recenlty bought a seal kit for my ve injection pump. i have no trouble installing the kit. i just need to know if there is any internal timing issues to go with the pump dissassembly. i've googled this one to death.

There is a pin or something of that sort on your (gov?- the one near the H&R) collar that needs to line up with the key on the front shaft. Get it 180deg out, and it wont run, or so I've been told.

Keep ALL the rollers and shims together and in the original location in the ring. It is unclear to me as to how many parts one could replace and not have to replace the coresponding component. It would occure to me that everything inside *SHOULD* be replaced if the cam ring is bad as there are tons of components that mate to/ wear into one another.

You would never replace one half of a wheel bearing such as the cup and not replace the roller assy..........................right?

In short, EVERYTHING must be kept in time unless you feel like throwing all the parts into a paper bag and shaking it. Then take your chance on proper wear characteristics working with/with out the matched part.

Then again, some mechanics will allow wheel bearings/roller bearings to set on the dirty floor while a wheel seal is replaced and never bother to clean the bearings/relube them.

Take your chances.

Never allow tight fitting/matched pump components to set on the dirty work bench and never touch them with your dry hands. Keep EVEREYTHING in clean diesel fuel/calibration fluid.
