case 450B dozer

[thomas reed]

I have a 1980 case 450B dozer with D207 non-turbo engine. I need to know what degree mark on flywheel I should use. The pump and the flywheel are on top dead center now. But I don't know the degree on the flywheel to use. The tag on the valve cove is gone so I don't know what degree the timing should be set at. Does any one know? Thomas

I'm going to stick my neck out on this one but I believe the 207 timed at 0 degrees as did the 508C's with the advance kit installed. This was sent to dealers but was to be installed by a Roosa service facility and it changed the initial timing from 8 degrees to 0 degrees to aid cold starting. mEl

mE1. I think you are wright after looking in the repair manual several times I found the specs. on the timing it said 0 degrees. I looked in that book and could not find under specs. Then after this post I was looking at it again and there it was on the first page of the specs. sheet. Thanks for your help Thomas
