580C timing

Mike Fitz · Nov 16, 2012

A neighbor had the 207 diesel in his 580C overhauled, the injection pump was supposed to be timed right,but it would not run, we can"t get any one to look at it, so we were playing with the timing by loostening the three bolts that hold the pump on and turning the pump counter clock wise and have got it running sort of. We would like to know what the proper procedure is for timing the injection pump to get it running like it should. Thanks.

On a C there is a hole on the bell housing just behind the starter. there is a pointer that is to line up with either 0 Deg or 8 Deg depending upon SN or modification in some instances. There was a 0 deg mod kit available from Case to help hard cold starting. Look on the valve cover on the intake manifold side, many time the factory spec sticker is still there. Find the proper timing mark on the flywheel, line it with the pointer making sure the #1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. With the timing window removed the marks inside the pump should be in register. If you did not have the timing gears apart you may be 180 out.

Thanks! We had the zero mark, this is what the sticker says. Opened the window, marks not lined up, we will have to work on that, is there any thing special to know about doing this? Thanks agin!

Are both marks visible? if only one is then you are 180 out if you didn't have the gears off up front. If you had it all apart you may have to go back and verify if your gear marks are correct.
