The timing marks on the accessory drive gear and the camshaft gear must be aligned so that the valve and the injector set marks on the accessory drive pulley show the correct adjustment position.
Timing marks can be seen through the gear cover straight thread plug inspection hole.
Check to make sure the timing marks on the camshaft gear and the accessory drive gear are aligned with each other.
If only the timing mark on the accessory drive gear is visible through the inspection hole, rotate the crankshaft one complete revolution in the direction of rotation to align the timing marks on the camshaft gear and the accessory drive gear.
If the accessory drive dowel pin has not been correctly installed in the accessory drive shaft, the dowel pin must be removed before attempting to remove the accessory drive to prevent damage to the accessory drive bushing.
