No I haven't seen that kind of injector.

OK, I got out the timing light and checked and rechecked, check TDC 2 times and I come up with 17. 5*? I dunno. I didnt even adjust it. Maybe the last time I checked it I got a screwy reading out of my light. But yeah. The DDP4s make the truck start harder when its cold though... .

stupid question... how does a timing light work on a diesel? I've always just gone by plunger lift on the pump. I realize that injector pop pressures effect timing... I've heard of using a timing light on a diesel, but I don't know how it works

If you have a reader it will read the pulse of #1 injector. Piers had one I used way back in 03'

if it can actually detect the pulse of the injector, it sounds like that's the most accurate way to check timing due to variances in pop pressure, etc.

 

[wildmanben]

yeah it works awesome, can check timing in 5 minutes
