Does anyone do pump timing around ny/nj/ct

I'm looking for someone to do pump timing (bumped up) and possibly valve adjustments. I'm currently unemployed so I have time to get this done. And of course I pay cash. I just have no idea how much something like this goes for.

First, there is no ignition timing on a diesel- it's pump timing or injection timing Just giving you sass.



As for reaosnable prices, that is in the eye of the beholder. I think any more than $50 for a valve adjustment is outrageous; some shops charge for 2-4 hrs labor. Same for timing. If either of these operations cant be performed in under 2hrs each (assuming time to find true TDC; if that has been established, figure an hour each), find a competent mechanic.

Thanks

I'm currently unemployed so I have time

Me too. :{ Got caught in a corporate "downsizing".

But I don't have the equipment to do the timing properly.

I DO have the tools to do valve adjustments.

When is a good friday night?



I've had the truck more then 22,000 miles and who knows when the last valve adjustment was done. A couple of years ago the dodge dealer said it sounded fine and it still does. I also know people in the first gen forum have gone many more 10k's of miles w/o doing adjustments. I just feel being on the safe side. I've always driven mopar so I never had to adjust valves and the last time I watched somebody adjust valves was in the mid 70's when I watched my grandfather adjust them on his 72 Impala out in the Bronx.



So just tell me what I need to bring. I already have valve cover gaskets.

You Know about our new site?? http://www.newenglandturbodieselpower.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=41



I am not sure when We can do this, But I am game for it. . MooseOo.

 

[JLEONARD]

I can bring everything needed for adjusting the valves.

I'll look up the timing proceedure. We can practice on Shot's truck, then work on mine after we've made all our mistakes:-laf



I've owned my truck for 100K miles... never adjusted the valves.



I know, I must be off my rocker!:-laf :-laf

I guess I'm just not a well adjusted person. :-laf :-laf

Let's not dwell on the subject much longer :-laf :-laf

Are we working on comedy night?



Ok Moose 00 since I ain't makin' it as a comedian, I'll send a resume to your Russian uncle.



EDIT: Shot if you do make it for a friday coffee night, shoot up early and we can work on your truck in the daylight. Right now my schedule is clear every day.

 

[Headshot zod]

[JLEONARD]

Tomorrow I'm committed until mid afternoon.

Next week is lightyears away... right now I have nothing pencilled into my calendar.

Next Friday it is. That will be the day after I turn 40 so I am expecting to be even more childish then I am today.

 

[PToombs]

My truck didn't have the valves adjusted from about 20k until 190k. They weren't far off either, couple of them were 1 or 2 thousands. Love my diesel! :-laf

 

[The patriot]

I need to do my timing too. I can help with the valves since I've done mine before.

Never messed with the timing though.

I've called shops to get an idea on $$$ on timing. $150 seems to be about minimum.

I havent worked since 04.....
