Ford F834 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was recently messaging another member on how to re-time a 6.9 and located this fairly useful document on how to do it... The engine manuals describe the usual method of aligning the timing marks on the crank gear, cam gear and injection pump gear with the the front cover off. This is great for engine assembly, but is not too helpful if the owner has made the rookie mistake of removing the injection pump gear housing to remove the pump. Many novice owners have ended up selling their trucks because they could not figure out how to get it back in time without disassembling the front of the engine. Maybe this document will help out a member some day if they goof and pull the gear housing on their truck: http://www.blackwire.com/~bjordan/Tech/Timing_the_6.9-7.3_IDI_101.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Jonathan - That's going to be a big help. Do you know Brian Jordan (The Grampulator)? I'd like to put his document on the website, but would like to have his permission. Can we contact him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to put his document on the website, but would like to have his permission. Can we contact him? Unfortunately I do not know him. Nor do I know where to find him. I wish I did. I was actually contemplating doing a write up and pictures on this subject when I go to assemble my engine, but I see that that it has already been done. I will look around and see if I can find a way to locate and contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford F834 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks! And invite him to join? Absolutely I will... if I can find him. I think this document may be several years old though, and it may be tough to track him down but I will do my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
