2. Put timing bolt (2) through the timing hole in the flywheel housing. Use the 9S-9082 Engine
Turning Tool (4) and a ratchet wrench with a 1/2 inch drive in order to turn the flywheel in the
direction of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel until the timing bolt engages with the
hole in the flywheel.
Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be turned in
the direction that is opposite of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by approximately 30
degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing bolt
engages with the threaded hole. This procedure will remove the play from the gears when the
No. 1 piston is on the top center.
3. Remove the valve cover for the No. 1 cylinder head.
4. The inlet and exhaust valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if the No. 1 piston is on the
compression stroke and the rocker arms can be moved by hand. If the rocker arms cannot be
moved and the valves are slightly open, the No. 1 piston is on the exhaust stroke. Find the
cylinders that need to be checked or adjusted for the stroke position of the crankshaft after the
timing bolt has been installed in the flywheel. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Crankshaft
Position for Fuel Injector Adjustment and Valve Lash Setting".
Note: When the actual stroke position is identified and the other stroke position is needed,
remove the timing bolt from the flywheel. Turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of
normal engine rotation.
