The engine is a Case 301B. I recently had the injection pump rebuilt.Before I removed it I used a cold chisel to mark the precise position of the pump on the engine. I replaced it today in the exact position it was in. The factory timing marks are in the proper position for the injection pump crankshaft. I then set #1 cylinder at 0 degrees top dead center. Next I reinstalled the drive gear on the injection pump. I was very careful to not disturb any of the alignment marks.
I started the engine and bled out all of the injector lines at the injectors. It runs like a sick pig. Lots of white smoke,sounds like it is misfiring and a lot of noise in the exhaust similar to small explosions. I have the genuine case shop manual for it. It tells in great detail how to do the R&R. It also says to look on the valve cover for a sticker that has the correct degrees for the injection pump timing in relation to the engine crankshaft. There is no sticker to be found on a 30 year old machine. Is 0 degrees TDC to late for the timing ??
