If you are only going to use them occasionally, it may be cheaper to rent the tools.

does cornwell have the tools

I don't think Cornwell has them. Try Snap-on, Miller Tool or Cummins. I don't know of any other choices for timing tools.

[JoeBioDiesel]

Miller tools are notoriously hard to find. Good luck.

You can order the Miller tools thru your Cummins dealer. Cummins uses the Miller Tools. The Snap-on set is better if you can find a Snap-On indepenedent dealer. Go to the internet and go to www.SnapOn.com and then go to a "dealer search" for your zipcode. I don't know of anyone who rents these tools out. Our mechanics prefer the Snap-On tools in our shop not the Miller ones. You can order the Snap-On tools online.



The Snap-On number is: #SP500, cost is $221. 70 US

The Cummins (Miller) number is: #3824563, cost is approx $245. 00 US



The tool set consists of a 2 stage dial indicator; a delivery valve barrel adapter; a delivery valve socket; a gear puller; a box to hold it all. You will also need an engine barring tool to turn it over or use the nut on the alternator. The barring tool is better.

You will also need a nylon hook shapped pick (Ace hardware; Bass Pro shop or Academy Sports) to extract the dv washer once you remove the delivery valve. a nylon pick is better than metal so you don't scratch the delivery valve barrel's interior walls removing the washer.

You will need a new washer for the delivery valve seat. (Dealer)

You will also need a good magnet to keep from dropping the gear nut and washer into the front cover (Lowes or Home Depot in the cabinet hardware section) (this would be bad and involve significant time and engine disassembly to get it back out).



It has a relatively fragile dual dial indicator tool in the kit which could be easily broken from misuse.

Thats probably why no-one wants to rent them out.



If this is your first time doing this make sure you have a whole Saturday and Sunday out of the weather. Take your time, go slow, check everything you do. Keep everything around the injector pump VERY clean. Make sure you don't bend the injector line coming out of the top of the #1 delivery valve.



Good Luck..... Its not difficult

You can just buy it right from Snap-on.com or call the 800 number on Snap On site.



My tool guy is a worthless asshat, so I just bypass him.

You do have to have the barring tool as you need to turn the engine both ways for this job (alt. will only turn it backwards). I personally bought the snap-on kit from the snap-on web site. I bought the barring tool through my local Carquest and I think it is an OTC. I don't have the number for it. I wasn't sure I should buy the tools at first but now I'm glad I did as I have used them many times on other trucks.
