If anyone can tell me where to find info on how to adjust valves on a second gen 24 valve using the locking pin on the timing gear it would be appreciated

have a nice day

 

theres no locking pin there on a 24v. theres a can position sensor there now. 12v has tdc pin.

read what he linked there, that sums it up.

 

My Truck Is A 1997 24 Valve And Still Has A Mechanical Pump, And It Also Has The Locking Pin I Beleive

 

A '97 24V with a mechanical pump???? A '97?? Are you sure? I've never heard of that before.

 

It is definitly a 97 and it ahs a mechanical pump, this was the last year they were produce as far as I know. Maybe it depends on the month that the truck was assembled or perhaps whre it was built. This may also explain why some members dont think thi engine should have a camshaft position locator pin

 

98.5 was the first 24 valve dodge /cummins

 

Cryo- is your pump the inline style or rotary style?

 

The pump is inline

 

you're right, there isn't one from the factory

 

Unless someone did a conversion, you have a 12v. Count your valve covers. If you have one long one, with injection lines going in on the drivers side of the engine, you have a 24v. If you have 6 valve covers (there might be a beauty cover over top of them) with the injectors crossing the head and going in on the passenger side, then you have a 12v. If you do indeed have a 12v, congratulations!

 

LOL!

I was misled according to your description my engine has to be a 12 valve
