Old School Diesel Timing Help

Recommended Posts

So part of my collection of old crappy vehicles is a 1985 Toyota BJ73. Its a JDM vehicle, so its got all kinds of cool things not offered here in the US. Besides being right hand drive and having a PTO driven front winch, its a diesel engine. Specifically a NA 3B.

 

Its started leaking badly from the Injection Pump. So obviously I need to take it off, have it rebuilt, and then put it back on. This leads me to my main two questions:

  1. Does anyone know an old school builder that can reseal my injection pump?
  2. Does anyone have experience timing an old mechanical diesel engine? There is supposed to be some specialty tool that I need to get, but I can't seem to track down a part number anywhere, much less an explanation of how to do it. This has me leery of jumping into it. 

Anything you guys know would be appreciated. Especially anyone from the cold white north, where the BJ73 left hand drive was sold for a bit. Any help/ advice appreciated.

 

Thanks guys!
