kdp tab?

OK so I took my timing cover off to fix the oil leak and kdp. So what do you do to tab these. I called cummins for a tab and they said they pull the pin out knurl it up and loctite it back in. Well it was sticking out an 1/8" but I already hammered it back in. What should I do?

cool thanks, I remembered that, I just made a tab out of a piece of a hurrican clip I had laying around, should work. Its not really stiff but should be enough. I also pinged the around the hole with a center punch. I OK with how it is now. I was amazed because the bolt right next to the KDP was only hand tight or loose as it were. That could have sucked a lot!!

where is the link to the 'fixture fix'
seems that might be good choice, since I have no other reason to pull off the T cover
