2. Install Tooling (C) into hole in adapter plate at
Position (Y). Use Tooling (A) to rotate the
crankshaft until Tooling (C) locates into the slot in
the gear for the fuel injection pump.

3. Remove plug (1) from the cylinder block. If
necessary, use Tooling (A) in order to rotate the
crankshaft until the number one piston is at the top
center position.

Note: The number one piston may be on the
compression stroke or the exhaust stroke.
4. Install Tooling (B) into Hole (X) in the cylinder
block. Use Tooling (B) in order to locate the
crankshaft in the correct position.
Note: Do not use excessive force to install Tooling
(B). Do not use Tooling (B) to hold the crankshaft
during repairs.
5. Remove Tooling (C) from the adapter plate.
6. Remove Tooling (B) from the cylinder block.

Fuel Quality - Test

Note: Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and
Adjusting, "Cleanliness of Fuel System
g02337216
Components" for detailed information on the
standards of cleanliness that must be observed
during ALL work on the fuel system.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are
performed by authorized personnel that have had the
correct training.
Use the following procedure to test for problems
regarding fuel quality:
1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are
present in the fuel. Check the water separator.
Drain the water separator, if necessary. A full fuel
tank minimizes the potential for overnight
condensation.
Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel
when the water separator is full of water.
2. Determine if contaminants are present in the fuel.
Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom of the
fuel tank. Visually inspect the fuel sample for
contaminants. The color of the fuel is not
necessarily an indication of fuel quality. However,
fuel that is black, brown, and/or like sludge can be
an indication of the growth of bacteria or oil
contamination. In cold temperatures, cloudy fuel
indicates that the fuel may not be suitable for
operating conditions.
