It is adjusted all the way to the left with no adjustment left and
timing is sitting at 5 atdc.

Why not just trust your A/B light and make the adjustment?
Short of someone having twisted the pump around, and I can’t imagine it could
move that far, the A/B light should be dead nuts accurate.
I think you’re making far more out of this than it needs to be.

Does the 606 have a cat???
I use a piece of welding rod to find TDC for each cylinder on the
Continental O-470 - works close enough.

Good point.
Diesel doesn't belong in the crankcase, and motor oil doesn't belong in
the exhaust.
That stretch sounds right. If the pointer was close to TDC when you had
the drill bit shoved into the hole, that's not your problem and you need to
pull and adjust the IP.
DON'T FORGET to get a new oil seal o-ring for the IP!!!

I just pulled the valve cover. Apparently there is a special tool you use to
stick in a hole at tdc. I did not have that so I just used a drill bit of a
size that fits in the hole. It’s not exact but should be close enough and shows
maybe 1-2 degrees of stretch at 207k miles. Looks good to me.

I'd use diesel fuel instead of motor oil.
I'm sure the cat could deal with diesel more
All that tells me that the pump was pulled and put back wrong. You need a
new oil seal for the IP most likely.

On the peach parts forum, one guy said that he would find TDC (and be able
to reset the pointer) by filling that cylinder with motor oil through the
injector hole. Take that injector apart, remove the nozzle and holder and
all the guts and use the body of the injector to plug the hole, then shove
So if the pointer got moved, but the pump didn't ever get moved, then most
likely the chain is now stretched and the pump is late. So if you just
want to take a guess and move the pump to see if you can improve the smoke
situation, then I'd say advance it a few degrees and see how she runs.
Yes you need to pull the vacuum pump, and the nut on the end of the IP
shaft is backward - left-handed thread, IIRC.
If you go that far and pull the IP, the oil seal (big o-ring) on the
injection pump may start leaking, if you don't replace it.

Either that or the pump was removed at some point and when reinstalled was off
a tooth. Perhaps I should just pull the pump and see. Oh wait, won’t I also
have to pull the vacuum pump as well? Not really sure I want to get into all
that although it probably won’t take all that long since I have
14 matches
