hi im a newbie, and need help,6.9 timing
Im new to the forum, ive been reading this forum for a minute, I have a 86 idi and im pulling teeth trying to figure out why im having a hard time getting the pump gear, and the cam gear to line up with the timing marks on the harmonic balancer. I removed the pump gear, and cover, matched up the (Ys) I used a mirror to find on the cam gear. Now that I found it, I marked it witb paint, but Ive been turning the crank by hand, but I swear its not moving.I know its 2 to 1 , but somethings wrong.I drove the truck the same day I started this.PLEASE HELP

6.9 timing nightmare
Thank you for the reply, the cam gear is moving, when I manually crank the engine over, the cam gear moves just fine. but it seems like after I have turned the engine over and over manually, I check my marks and ive not gotten any closer to TDC. Or very little. Should I just pull the waterpump? And. the valve cover? which piston should be up or at TDC?#1? Can I do it that way? Also I heard that With a diesel you shouldnt bump the key to align the timing marks? it seems it would be faster. or will that damage my Injection pump?

It ran before,, meaning the pump was just failing, hard start, excessive emissions etc?
If you didn't notice any gear/tooth issues while rotating the engine on over, and it ran prior, should be ok. The crank is keyed/geared, cam as well, So unless there's a base engine/timing issue, I'd install the cam and pump Y'd positions and test run. Pump to cam timing is Y marks, injection pump timing is set off the harmonic balancer points..
