Wierd. Even wierder is that only one of the four pictures show up for me .

I am the one that wrote that article, and I still have the pictures so I will post them here for you.

1. Fuel pump drive cover.

Disconnect the breather tube from the fitting. Then unscrew the plastic cap and this is what you will see:


2. TDC (top dead center) timing alignment.

Use a mirror and bar (hand crank) the engine to line up the notch with the line on the drive gear. The BDC (bottom dead center) notch is on the opposite side of the "hole" and is marked BDC on the timing cover.



Valve layout.

This is the valve layout. The shorter rocker arm is always for the intake valves. The longer one is always for the exhaust valves. I highlighted the injector for reference.



4. Measuring valve lash.


Insert the feeler guage between the pivot stud and the Y bridge.



5. Setting the valve lash.





If you have any questions on the procedure, please let me know.
