My apologies if this has been beat to death.

As I get close to putting my injection pump back on after a reseal I'd like to hear from anyone who has advanced a tooth or two on the timing gear. Is it worth it for getting better access to the engine side of the pump?

I measured the length of the piston/plunger stroke before taking the pump off. If I jump a tooth I can easily find where i was already advanced to by rotating the pump counterclockwise (i was around 1.6mm if memory serves me correct).

I'm strictly asking from the perspective of whether the additional access to the engine side of the pump is a huge deal or not for power screw and idle screw adjustment access. If its not a game changer for making adjustments i'll leave it alone.

If your static pump timing is close or flat to the head already, yes, advance the gear one tooth.

- As such, you'll be able to then pull the IP back away from the head for the benefit of the clearance for future work.
