1100 Series
Fuel Injection Pump Timing - Check

65 Issue 2
February 2008

This service bulletin applies to the 1100 Series three cylinder engines models DC, DD and some DJ and DK.
There have been isolated instances of the incorrect timing of the DP210 and DPG fuel injection pumps. This
issue affects engines from serial number D------U151459P to engine serial number D------U154416P inclusive.
For DJ and some DK engine models that are not shown in Table 1 require to be reworked only if there is a
noise legislation need. The incorrectly set timing may in some cases cause an increase in noise output.
Consultation with the customer and/or engineering teams is required to understand if there is any noise
legislative need or not. Preference is to rework only those units that are sold into an application where noise
level is a key concern. Technical support can be supplied by Perkins Engines Co, Peterborough - attention
Craig Clamp and/or Steve Rickard if you have further questions.
All DC and DD engine models must be reworked using the following instruction. The DK engine build lists that
are listed in Table 1 must be reworked using the following instruction.

Pump Timing Issues for Perkins

EQUIPMENT:

DPG and DP210

SUBJECT:

Pump timing setting request

1. INTRODUCTION
Perkins has requested the Delphi Network to assist in a pump timing resetting exercise on
DPG and DP210 3 cylinder applications, specifically 1103A and 1103C variants
2. PROCEDURE
DPG pumps
The Perkins or Perkins OEM distributor has responsibility to remove the fuel pump from the
engine.
On Receipt of the pump the Delphi Workshop will reset and relock the pump drive shaft in the correct
timing position. The Table below gives the timing value to be applied by pump reference number
Set the Static timing value stated in the table on the timing device 7244-27 found in the DPA tool kit
and fit the appropriate drive shaft adaptor. Ensure the pump drive shaft is unlocked. Fit the tool to the
pump drive shaft and rotate the shaft until the indicator tang on the tool aligns with the line scribed on
the pump housing flange. Relock the pump drive shaft in this position.
Return the pump to the Perkins or Perkins OEM distributor.
Note:- It is unnecessary to hydraulically lock the head and rotor as per normal DPA timing procedure.
It is unnecessary to bench test the pump for this exercise.

DP210 Pumps
The Perkins or Perkins OEM Distributor has the responsibility to remove the pump from the
engine
Only accredited DP210 workshops are able to conduct this exercise.
On receipt of the pump the Delphi workshop must ensure that the drive shaft is in the unlocked
condition. Mount the pump to the test stand with the appropriate DP210 dynamic timing kit. It will be
necessary to use the correct DP210 test pipes and injectors as stated in the appropriate test plan on
Direct Evolution.
It is unnecessary to apply any of the presets stated in the test plan as fuel delivery and advance
checks will not be checked, Transfer pressure advance and carriage position adaptors will not be
required. This is purely a dynamic timing setting exercise. Run the pump to operating temperature
and perform the dynamic timing procedure using the data stated on the appropriate test plan. Lock
the drive shaft in the correct position, drain any test oil from the unit, cap inlets and outlets and return
to the Perkins or Perkins OEM distributor.
Caution:- It is imperative that the dynamic timing procedure is utilised in order to maintain emissions
compliance. It is likely that more than one witness mark will be visible on the timing ring as the pumps
will be re moved from the engine in the incorrect position; It is the Delphi workshops responsibility to
ensure the pump is correctly timed for reassembly to the engine. .
3. RESPONSIBILTY
All costs incurred will be the responsibility of the Perkins distributor. Delphi has agreed the service
time for both types of fuel pump with Perkins. It is envisaged that more than one pump at a time will
be presented for this exercise in order to minimise set up time. The labour rate should not exceed
50.00 per hour or the equivalent value in other currency.
For DPG maximum time should not exceed 0.33 of an hour.
For DP210 the maximum time should not exceed 1.25 hours.
