KDP Question...

[TWeir]

I am doing my KDP this weekend with the tab method. I already have every thing apart and my pin is out approxmately 1/8". My question is about the vibration damper. There is what looks like a magnetic pickup or sensor that reads off of the vibration damper and is adjustable. It is attached to a bracket thats bolts to the gear cover. Is there a required gap that needs to be set between this sensor and the damper?

Thanks in advance,

Terry

Yes it has to come off, you can use the bracket and a notvh in the balnacer to hold it while you break the bolts loose if you don't have a barring tool, when you install it the gap is . 053 with a non-magnetic feeler guage.

Thanks Jim, I plan on finishing up this morning. It will be a good feeling not to worry about the KDP any more.

Go out & purchase a Haynes manual at AutoZone or some place. They have dome excellent photos of the front end being taken apart, and in a few of them you can actually see the KDP. They show the adjustment you are talking about, & how to set it.

What was your mileage with the pin 1/8 out?

I am keeping tabs on all who have had there pin move and comparing it to mileage,year and so forth.

75K no movement..... tabed anyway.

Well all done, and it went well. grtescpa I have 80,000 on my rig and the pin moved back in flush. JFulmer, thanks for the info, I set it at . 053 and all runs well. I am glad that this is now done and I can enjoy my bombing with less worry.
