I am thinking of pulling the cam out of my '63 4000 172 diesel. I need to find out what the cam is, because it will not time the pump right. It's a tooth off each way. I can time it if I put the pump in @ zero degrees, but not @23 degrees. Slotting the stud holes, is way to much. Both cam gears marks line up right, but the pump will not.
I do not know how the P.O. had it running? I bought it without trying to start it, after it had sat 15 plus years. It was minor stuck, so I did not turn it over before removing the head to see why.
Has anyone (I'm sure someone has) done this with the engine in the frame. I'm looking for any tips on doing this. I have pulled 100's of cams, but not one without pulling the lifters first. Sitting up right, with them in yet.
I'm thinking of putting some type of clip on each lifter to hold them up.
Thanks, Pat
