This kit is designed for setting the correct timing position on Bosch VE type fuel pumps and compatible systems (Kiki, Nippon Denso, CAV Rotodiesel). The kit includes a dial test indicator and various adaptors to fit different port sizes. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions to establish the correct timing data for your specific engine.
Safety
- Ensure the vehicle is adequately supported by axle stands if jacked up.
- Wear approved eye protection.
- Wear suitable clothing to avoid snagging; do not wear jewellery and tie back long hair.
- Do not attempt to start the engine or move the vehicle while timing devices are fitted.
- Account for all tools, locking bolts, pins, and parts; do not leave them in or near the engine.
Contents
The kit includes the following components:

- M14 Extension
- Adaptor Assemblies (M8 35mm, 90mm, M10 35mm)
- M8-M12 Adaptor
- Adaptors (90mm, 35mm)
- DTI Bracket
- Probe
- Dial Test Indicator (41mm x 8mm x 0.1mm)
Operation
Follow these steps to set the timing:


- Unscrew the standard tip from the dial test indicator and fix the correct extension in its place.
- Select the correct length M8 adaptor and attach the dial test indicator with the extension.
- Tighten the adaptor to the dial test indicator shank using the nut. If the fuel pump has an M12 threaded port, use the provided adaptor to convert the M8 thread.
- Clean the fuel injection pump around the service port.
- Remove the plug and attach the adaptor and dial test indicator. You can rotate the indicator to make it easier to read.
- Loosen the nut on the adaptor to bring the indicator and extension into contact with the pump plunger. This will pre-load the indicator by approximately 1mm.
- Tighten the nut to prevent the indicator from sliding.
- Zero the dial test indicator bezel and lock it in position with the thumbscrew.
- Turn the crankshaft backwards until the pointer on the dial test indicator stops moving. Check that the small scale shows a 1mm pre-load and re-zero the bezel.
- Turn the crankshaft forward to the static timing point and compare the reading on the dial test indicator with the manufacturer's specified timing data.
- Once the reading is correct, remove the dial test indicator, adaptor, and extensions.
