Timing Code Table
Original Topic Number: 00t5-13.
Contents
This service parts topic provides a timing code table for QST30 Series engines. Engines
built before January 3, 2000, have a two-letter timing code on the engine dataplate. Refer
to the table in this service parts topic to convert the timing code to the nominal degrees
before top dead center with the right-bank number 1 cylinder on the compression stroke.
Beginning with approximate engine serial number first 37190914, and build dates on or
after January 3, 2000, the engine dataplate includes the numeric value for the specified
engine timing.
Right or left bank is determined while viewing the engine from the rear. The timing marks
are located on the vibration damper. Both of the right-bank number 1 rocker levers will be
loose and push rods will be at the same height if the piston is on the compression stroke.
The right- and left-bank fuel pumps are both installed with the engine in this position and
with the timing pins engaged.
The tolerance band for engine timing is 0.5 degree of the nominal value. The table
below will be included in the next revision of the appropriate engine manuals.
