Being a knob as I am (( was talking at the time and wasnt paying attention ) , when I removed the fuel pump from the engine im rebuilding . I stupidly removed the centre nut off the fuel pump :( so lost the timing ( DOH ) .

Ive had a search about and found lots on seting up the boost etc but not the static timing with a DTI guage through the rear nut ( between injector pipes ) .

So does anyone know the static timing ( or point me to a site/info ) , primary lift of the plunger in the pump so I can refit the pump drive and then pin it .

For some reson I have 1.25mm lift in my head ..... ?

any help would be great :) as Im in my garage on the lappy working away , with beer on board :) .

Cheers
 
right you need a dial guage.
then look at the back of your fuel pump,were the four fuel pipes come out of the pump, in the middle of them is a bolt (10mm or 12mm)i think.
then make sure your marks on the crank shaft pully are clean and you can see them well may be put some paint on them to help you see them. turn the engine over to TDC, remove the small cover so you can gain access to the fuel pump timing make sure your drillbit or timing tool fit in the pump pully hole at this stage, adjust it by slackening the three bolts on the pully and turning the 22mm nut in the middle slightly so you can,( if you can't that is) Now once you are happy with that turn the crank back about 30 degrees so you are about 30 degrees before TDC then remove the bolt i mentioned earlier in the back of the pump and put your dial guage in the pump, make sure the guage is on zero by moving the crank back and forth the guage should not move,then turn the crank slowly up to TDC watching the dial guage at the same time, when you get to TDC check your drillbit goes in the hole for the pump timing and at this point the dial guage should have gone up to 1.54mm (gone round 1.54 times). You might want to back of the crank and check your dial guage readings a couple of times. If you are not getting 1.54mm lift you have to adjust the pump.
So bring the crank up to TDC put your drillbit in the hole remembering to watch your dial guage then loosen the pump retaining bolts and the four fuel pipes and turn the pump round slightly un till the dial guage goes to 1.54mm then lock the retaining bolts back up on the pump, take out your drillbit from the pump timing hole and turn the crank back 30 degrees and start again to check the dial guage when you are at TDC with the drill bit back in the pump timing hole, this might also take a couple of times to get it right.once you are happy with what you have done remove the dial guage and put it all back together.
