  2. Set the injection pump camshaft so the broken line points to the upper edge of the oval hole.
  3. Fit a new sealing ring on the injection pump guide flange.
  4. Fit and bolt down the pump with studs centred in the oval holes.
  5. Fit tool 6848 and a dial indicator in contact with the 1st tappet.
