Engine timing 8
General description
To ensure that the 1100 Series 4 cylinder engines have an accurate system of timing, the engines are pin
timed.
This system will set the engine so that number one piston is at top dead centre (TDC) on the compression
stroke.
To reach the accurate fuel injection needed for engines to conform to emissions legislation, the latest fuel
injection pumps operate at a static timing of TDC.
It is important that fuel injection timing is accurate to conform to emissions legislation. Always use Operation
8-1 to obtain TDC on the compression stroke of number one cylinder.
Cautions:
l If the hub nut (A1) is loosened the Bosch VP30 fuel injection pump timing will be lost and the fuel injection
pump will have to be removed and sent to your nearest Perkins Dealer/Distributor to be reset.
l The Delphi DP210 nut (B1) must not be released until TDC on the compression stroke is set, the backlash
is removed from the fuel injection pump gear and the fuel pump shaft is locked. If the nut (B1) is loosened
before TDC on the compression stroke is set and the fuel pump shaft is locked the fuel pump timing will be
lost. The pump will have to be removed and sent to your nearest Perkins Dealer/Distributor to be reset.
l The Bosch EPVE nut (B1) must not be released until TDC on the compression stroke is set, the backlash
is removed from the fuel injection pump gear and the fuel pump shaft is locked. If the nut (B1) is loosened
before TDC on the compression stroke is set and the fuel pump shaft is locked, the fuel pump timing will
be lost. To adjust the fuel pump timing see, Operation 8-4.

Crankshaft timing pin 27610211 Camshaft timing pin 27610212
Cautions:
l This procedure must only be carried out by a person with the correct training.
l The timing pins are a push fit. Do not use excessive force to fit the pins.
l Do not use the pins as a locking device when repairs are carried out on the engine.
l The timing pins must be removed before the timing case cover is fitted. Failure to do so will damage the
engine.
l The marks on the timing gears are not to be use as timing marks. The marks indicate the front of the gear
only.
1 Remove the rocker cover, see Operation 3-2.
2 Remove the glow plugs, see Operation 14-10.
3 Remove the timing case cover see, Operation 6-1.
Note: The crankshaft timing pin can be inserted with the crankshaft pulley still fitted.
4 To set the No 1 piston to TDC on the correct stroke, rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation
until the intake valve (A7) of number 4 cylinder has just opened and the exhaust valve (A8) of the same cylinder
has not closed completely.
5 Carefully rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation. Align the hole in the crankshaft with the
hole in the cylinder block and the timing case (B1). Insert the crankshaft timing pin through the timing case and
the cylinder block. Push the pin fully into the hole in the crankshaft web.
6 Insert the camshaft timing pin, through the hole in the camshaft gear (B2) and into the body of the timing
case. With the two timing pins fitted the engine is set at TDC number one on the compression stroke.
Note: The camshaft timing pin is a push fit into the timing case. The camshaft gear can rotate a small amount
when the pin is fitted. This is to allow the assembly of the gears and removal of the backlash from the gears,
with the timing pins fitted.

Cautions:
l This procedure must only be carried out by a person with the correct training.
l If the hub nut (C1) is loosened the fuel injection pump timing will be lost and the fuel injection pump will
have to be removed and sent to your nearest Perkins Dealer/Distributor to be reset.
l Do not use the pins as a locking device when repairs are carried out on the engine.
l The fuel pump timing pin is a push fit. Do not use excessive force to fit the pin.
1 Rotate the crankshaft to obtain TDC, see Operation 8-1.
Note: Do not remove the timing pins from the engine after TDC is set.
2 Insert the fuel pump timing pin through the gear (A1) and through the slot in the hub (B1). Push the pin fully
into the hole (B2) in the body of the fuel injection pump.
3 With all three timing pins fitted, the engine is set at TDC No 1 piston and the fuel injection pump timing is
correct.
4 If the timing pin cannot be pushed into the fuel injection pump body, and the engine is correctly set at TDC,
see Operation 8-1, the fuel injection pump must be removed, see Operation 11-9, and sent to your nearest
Perkins Dealer/Distributor to be reset.
5 Remove all timing pins from the engine.
