Diesel Injection pump

4 stroke cycle is suck, squeeze, bang, blow. 1 squirt per 2 revs my friend.

In the attached a photo you can see the thread machined into the shaft of the injection pump. The threads were "lubricated" with blue Loctite when I applied the torque. Think it will survive around 55 ft-lb torque?

The picture is of a BOSCH type VE pump. Once you get the gear mesh timing markings lined up you rotate the body of the pump to get the right micrometer reading at the right flywheel marking. Then you clamp the pump down with its mounting bolts.

No. You rotate the body of the pump slightly then rerun the procedure till you get spot on.
