We are doing a timing belt replacement on a Deutz D2011 in our JLG 660SJ boom lift. We are replacing it for PM so the unit came in running. We are using the factory manual to do the work. We are able to pin and lock the camshaft, when we move to pinning the crankshaft timing, its off. We would have to make an additional 1/8 turn as measured on the camshaft in order to pin the crankshaft. As seen in the attached photo.
Are we missing something or did previous person in there have the timing off that far and it still ran??
We are tossing around the idea of just pinning the camshaft, cutting off the belt and advancing the crankshaft so we can pin it and installing new belt and tensioner from there.
Are we on the right path or are we missing something?
