So where do I get that pin that locates top dead center. My truck was at a dealer years ago for an injection pump recall and they broke that pin. I need to get a new one. The truck will be down until tues. or wed. because I have a battery on order, and I am trying to adjust the valves without pulling an injector. I'm wondering where to get one, and what it takes to replace it. Do I have to pull the timing cover?

Thanks in advance!

 

the pin pulls right out.

 

My pin pulled out very easily and I found it was easier to just look in the hole with a mirror and find TDC. I then match marked the harmonic balancer/crank pulley to the timing cover with a paint marker. Set the first six valves and barred the engine over 360 degrees and did the last six. Then put the broke plastic locater pin back in the hole.
