Timing peg sizes.......anyone got a Vernier caliper?

[noiseman]

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me the diameters of the timing pegs used on a 2.5 di turbo?

I have borrowed some before but this is not an option this time.
I have access to a toolroom with a range of accurate tool steel rod.

Thought about making some of my own rather than paying for a full kit to do a range of engines I will never own.

Any help appreciated.

Drill bits for me; 13mm=crankshaft
8mm=camshaft
then either 6 or 9mm for pump depending on year/Bosch/Lucaas.
Try a 6mm for your Lucas pump

Taken from another post on this subject.

If you can wait till next week when I'm back in work I can vernier the full set that I have.



This is the set I have. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/7-PIECE-FORD-DIES ... dZViewItem

ive just measured my timing pin with a vernier for the engine hole/flywheel to lock the crankshaft and its 12.72mm, 8mm & 6mm sounds correct for the others

3 drill bits of the correct size are all you need

Ø12.7 - probably clearance for a Ø13.0 hole

Thanks for the info chaps, i'll go get the hacksaw!!

[MrMPuk]

12.7 would that be half inch?

And who said imperial was dead?

[MrMPuk]

Imperial isn't dead, the last to jobs I had everything was imperial. Mainly due to the equipment being from America, every now and a again I get to work with whitworth.

Changed the layout to be clearer, so if you already downloaded this file do it again as it will be a heck of lot easier to read.

I used to work as a toolmaker and we had drawings come through the door marked-up with such amusing specs as " drill Ø 1/2" x 25mm deep.
Hows that for a mixed up system!!

if you use a pin which is too small in dia in the flywheel, you can get it in the wrong hole. the bitch will never start. the 2 holes are about an inch or so apart.

when my belt snapped. i used a mirror in the end with a torch to line the flywheel holes up. started on the first spin after bleeding 1 and 3 injectors.

you need the hole that goes straight through, the other holes dont
