4. Remove the crankcase breather vapor canister and breather housing (Fig. 55).
5. Using the crankshaft barring tool #7471-B (Fig. 51), rotate the engine to line up the mark on the pump gear with the TDC mark on the cover. At
this engine position, cylinders #1 and #6 can be serviced.
6. Remove the accessory drive belt.
7. With the fuel injection pump gear mark aligned at TDC, add a paint mark anywhere on the gear housing cover next to the crankshaft damper.
Place another mark on the vibration damper in alignment with the mark you just made on the cover.
8. Divide the crankshaft damper into three equally sized segments as follows:
a. Using a tape measure, measure the circumference of the crankshaft damper and divide the measurement by three (3).
b. Measure that distance in a counter-clockwise direction from the first balancer mark and place another mark on the balancer.
c. From the second damper mark, again measure in a counter-clockwise direction and place a mark on the damper at the same distance you
measured when placing the second damper mark.
The damper should now be marked in three equally spaced locations and the fuel pump gear mark should still be aligned with the TDC mark
on the cover.
