TDCO timing issues

[Caskey]

I tried searching but i need a quick answer. Im in the process of getting the timing righ ton my truck (right now +0.35 going to -1.50). My question is how do i get the passenger side nut loose? i finely go tthe wrench on it but now i cant move it either way cause of turbo line or the ip. Any pointers?

I remember that one being the toughest to get at, but mine were not overly tight.

Here's a bump back to the top for ya, maybe someone else can help...sorry

we heated a wrench and bent it to reach there, makes it slightly less of a pain

I bought a set of cheap metric wrenches just to butcher up for special wrenches such as a ip wrench. I made my own tool to turn the ip out of a piece of bar stock. I drilled and tapped holes for bolts.

I was able to turn my IP with my open end oil filter wrench.

Looks like i found a different wrench that will work.

Well with a good bit of finagling i was able to get it done. Its now at -1.5 and holding steady. I can tell i have better throttle response and not as much black smoke when i jump on it. heres the tools i used.

That is the exact same filter wrench I used to adjust mine, glad it worked out for you!
