history lesson on the truck tonight

I have timed many of these trucks, and have always had lots of room to advance it more than necessary without problem. I wonder if someone may have put the inj. pump gear in one tooth out of mesh. That would be a way to correct the problem, remove the gear cover, remove the gear and replace it one tooth away. It would be a good idea to actually check the timing to see where it really is first. It shouldn't be required unless someone has screwed with it before.

It's definitely a possibility that the gear is a tooth off, but I don't think the timing cover would have to come off for that head gasket job Still, when I had my pump off, I could feel that the gear was just kinda hanging out in there...don't know if there was enough room to jump a gear w/out taking the cover off, but it was close. Maybe somebody did the kdp and had the pump off at the same time---then the gear would probably just fall out when the cover came off

The blue smoke all the time with no oil usage really makes me want to think it's retareded.
