they should have a good round domed socket that rod sits in,damage should be obvious ,you will need to set valve clearances
yes - using the timing kit, check everything, twice.

when i pushed the only straight rod i have in all of them it actually forms a kind of suction to the rod with the socket so im assuming there fine.. the valve clearances is about the only thing that the video wasnt too clear on. what tool do i need?
trying to get the timing kit but being in the carribean i hardly have access to these things. im gona try my best to get one.

9.5 mm drill bit is fine for pump .crank pulley does have a mark on front of the pulley that can be lined up with mark on the case (keyway at 12 oclock) 13mm spanner to undo adjusters and screw driver and 8 thou feeler guage ,27mm socket to turn crank clockwise

i would be inclined to lock the flywheel and check the timing first.
second that.

he hasnt access to pin and while better isnt essential as long as all marks plus pump line up

can't you lock the flywheel by drilling 3mm hole through wading plug and putting drill into teeth on flywheel if you dont have timing kit
I use a grinded down chisel or long screw driver grinded down to fit , just get someone to hold it in place, while its all checked....

i used a 9.5 for the pump and lined up everything else on the marks. a couple of vice grips on the damper held everything inplace. what im more worried about is the valve clearances??

yes but method no9 is used ,were you turn crank clockwise till a valve is just fully open ,if you go past that point go on till another is ,1 fully down set gap on no8 ,2 down set 7 ,3 down set 6 ,4 down set 5 ,5 down set 4 ,6 down set 3 ,7 down set 2 ,8 down set 1 ,they wont occur in that order
