Timing is more or less when the injection event begins in relation to piston TDC. The plunger lift charts are simply an easy way to set the timing and are not necessary. You can just set the crank to the desired time before TDC (say 18 degrees) and roll the pump over until the point at which the plunger feed ports are just covered up. This is called "spill port timing." If he really wanted to know what the plunger lift at TDC for that 18 degrees of timing is then he could just roll it over to TDC and measure the plunger lift for a bit easier reference.
