The High Stakes of Diesel Engine Timing

On mechanically timed John Deere engines like the 4239 or 6359, timing isn't just a suggestion—it's the difference between a smooth-running machine and a catastrophic internal collision. Even a single tooth of misalignment can lead to excessive smoke, hard starting, and melted pistons.

  • OEM-Style Accuracy – This kit is engineered to match factory specifications for the 3179, 4239, 6359, 4276, and 6414 platforms.
  • Total Component Control – Simultaneously lock and align the crankshaft, camshaft, and injection pump to ensure every stroke is perfectly synchronized.
  • Eliminate Gear Walk – Positive locking capabilities prevent components from shifting during high-torque tightening or gear train service.
  • Professional Durability – Precision-machined from high-strength materials to withstand the heavy-duty environment of ag and construction shops.
  • Versatile Application — From legacy tractors to industrial power units, this kit covers the most common mid-range John Deere diesel engines.
