timing on diesel motors

Because there is no spark and coils etc it's done by markings on the non Electronic vehicles , for Electronic check the link

There is an adaptor that clamps over an injector line and adapts to a normal timing light.Havent had much luck with this type.
Also you can put a dial gauge and adaptor on the back of Toyota pumps to time.(1HZ)

hi Goldsahara
i don't know about the timing on diesel engines that run a computer management system. But those without the only way to set them up properly is via a mechanical device for DPA type pumps [these look like a distributor in a petrol motor ] most are usually set up with a dial gauge and an adaptor that fits in the rear of the pump between the injector pipes. If you have an INLINE type that is where all the injector pipes are in a line usually on top of the pump this is usually done by spill timing. Now having got rid of the useless information, to buy a dial gauge and adaptor is fairly hefty outlay for something you probably will only do once, the spill timing is basically very simple and only requires a few spanners. Contact your dealer and get photocopies from there workshop manual on how to set up injection timing applicable to your model
