if you know you plunger lift for your cpl of that engine, or for that pump, install your dial indicator, set the indicator between 7.0, and 9.0mm on the small inner dial. barr the engine counter clock wise untill you hit the inner base circle of the cam on the pump, the dial indicator will be dropping. it will drop, stop, and begin to rise almost immediately, when you get to where it stops, stop rotating the engine, zero your dial indicator, when it stops your on the inner base circle of the cam. barr the engine clockwise utill you get the desired amount of lift, watch the gauge, depending on what gauge you are using,(i have the snapon timing kit) one revolution of the big dial indicator is 2mm of lift, soo keep and eye on the gauge. once you get the right amount of lift, stop, pull the pump gear, make sure that the lift did not change, if it did, repeat that step. if it did not change, barr the engine counter clockwise 20-30 deg. of engine rotation to remove greartrain lash between the crank, and cam gear, and then clockwise backup to tdc. clean the shaft really well with contact cleaner, you want no oil on the shaft at all, and seat the gear on the shaft, keep a slight counter clockwise pressure on the gear while you seat it, this will remove the gear lash inbetween the camshaft gear, and the pump gear, torque to 150ft. lb. go back, and back the engine off of tdc, bring back up to tdc, and verify that the plunger lift is where it needs to be at tdc, and you're done! hope this helps.
