Truck just hit 200k and so i thought it would be a good time to run the overhead and put a new set of injectors in. Went with a set of Mach 1.6's got them at a pretty good deal. im gonna do the job myself my question to yall is is there a hole in the flywheel housing to put a turning tool in or do i have to turn the engine over with a socket and ratchet on the dampener or with a chain wrench? Just wondering

A lot of people put a wrench on the alternator and turn over the engine that way - I think you have to turn it backwards. The tool you are referring to is a barring tool. I believe it uses the starter teeth on the flywheel.

 

I personally use a fan wrench (36 MM Fan Wrench) can be used and turn the engine over that way. You can only turn in oposite direction of rotation but the engine doesn't care. Just remember to always remove the wrench before starting engine.

LOL - experience stops you from doing dumb things but how do you get experience......

 

I pull the breather off the front engine cover, put a socket and a breaker bar on and turn it over with the fuel pump nut. Only go the direction that would tighten it, though, as you will loosen the nut off.

 

yes ,there is a hole for the barring tool ive used it a few times, tried turning alt. and fan but belt slips, so i bought the barring tool several years ago

 

Does anybody know ehat intake and exhaust valves you can adjust at tdc #1 and then at tdc #6? Kindof like a valve adjustment guide that way i dont have to go through the whole firing order
