Hey, the appropriate Bentley should be arriving in a few days,
but in the meantime, I'm wondering if anyone out there has done
the pump timing thing on a post-84 TD... mine is from an '85 Quantum,
and it appears to have a fancier cover over the timing belt than
the pre-85 era engines.  There's a cover _between_ the sprockets
and the pump/block.  As a result, I can't see how to lock the
pump!  And on my first couple of inspections, it appears that
that cover can only be removed by pulling the sprockets of both
the cam and the pump... not exactly conducive to getting the
timing right.

Anyone dealt with this?  Am I just missing the perfectly positioned
hole in that cover?  Weird...

        Gary
