  • Publication number: 20150075319
    Abstract: A timing pin module for an engine is disclosed herein. The timing pin module includes a mount end, an engagement end, an adapter, a pin, and a resilient member. The adapter, with a through hole is disposed on the mount end and is mountable to the housing cover. The pin has a longitudinal axis, a first end disposed on the engagement end, and a second end disposed on the mount end. The pin is slideably disposed in the through hole of the adapter and moves between an extended position and a retracted position. The resilient member has a first end engaged with the pin and a second end engaged with the adapter. Further, the first end of the pin engageably retains the flywheel in the top dead center position while extended, and makes sliding contact with a portion of the flywheel that is in the retracted position.
