Hey guys first time poster here. Have a couple questions about my truck. Im new to the mechanical world. Im trying to check the current timing in the pump and I've tried to find the info that im looking for. I've inserted the dial indicator into the delivery valve holder. Once i am at tdc i move the engine cc until the dial indicator drops. When i move it back to tdc ive calculated that i got 8.5 mm of lift. Which is a ridiculous number when referencing the lift chart. My question is do i convert the 8.8mm to degrees and that tells me what the pump is at currently or do i pin the pump first since it is advanced a tad then bring it to tdc and check the plunger lift? I was at it for awhile last night and was confused on why i was getting 8.5 mm. Any insight will help please. The pump is a 215 pump also.
