IP timming
I did something pretty stupid, I decided that since i have to swap IP covers and IPs I woul just put both motors at tdc and swapt the whole thing as an assembly. After I pulled the second IP I realised how easy it would be for me to get it a tooth off
I hope I got it on in the right spot is there any way to tell with out ripping it apart? Or am i going to have to pull the pump and gear cover and look down in there with a little mirror and see if i got them lined up?

That's good news seems you could use some luck.
Besides the scope what else did you blow it on a timing meter I hope.

I got a set of metric wrences a pair of wire strippers like the ones that ran off some needle nose vise grips, a pocket knife, rubber tip air blower since mine dosen't have a tip a 1 1/4" wrench. 1,000 bucks dosen't go very far on the snap on truck.
Why would i need a timming meter?

To time your truck and apparently you are working at a shop you would be a rarity as far as the idi's go.
Many shops including dealerships don't have anybody anymore that understands the idi's much less time them.
How well I know about how far money goes on the snapon wagon.
I basically quit buying off the truck about 10 years ago very little anymore.

We have a tach and time but I never use it you can time these things by sound and smoke alot better. I had to time a mechanicle dt466 by ear once the cheapo customr didn't want to pay for a timming indicator, his was broke off.

Sliding that shiny new pocket knife between the cam gear and cam gear cover so you can see the timing mark will work.
Butter knife with a thinner blade works well also, just don't let the wife see that process.
