This document is page 1 of a service procedure illustration set for the 5.9L 6-cylinder Cummins B Series Turbo Diesel engine (VIN code 8) as installed in the 1989 Dodge Pickup, courtesy of Chrysler Motors. It contains Fig. 1, 'Rotating Engine & Engaging Timing Pin,' which consists of two labeled line drawings. The upper illustration, titled 'Engaging Timing Pin,' shows the front/side of the engine with callouts identifying the location of the engine date plate, the timing pin, the timing pin housing, and the camshaft gear (shown in a magnified inset detail of the timing pin engaging the camshaft gear). The lower illustration, titled 'Rotating Engine,' shows the rear of the engine at the transmission adapter plate, with a callout identifying the engine barring tool (part number 3904682) inserted into the adapter plate to manually rotate the engine. A reader can learn where the timing pin and its housing are located, how the pin engages the camshaft gear, where the engine date plate is found, and which special tool is used at the transmission adapter plate to bar the engine over. The page footer indicates it was printed December 15, 2003, from material copyrighted 2001 by MRIC and Snap-on Tools Company. Some text near the top has been deliberately blacked out.
