Frequently Asked Questions
IS THIS THE CORRECT TIMING PIN FOR BOTH VE AND P7100 PUMPS?
Yes. Cummins 3903924 is the OEM timing pin used for timing procedures on both VE (1989–1993) and P7100 (1994–1998) injection pumps.
CAN A NON-OEM TIMING PIN DAMAGE THE PUMP?
Yes. Off-brand pins may bend or deform, compromising timing accuracy or damaging the pump gear bore. This is why we recommend only genuine Cummins for timing work.
DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE PIN BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE?
Absolutely. The pin must only be used during hand-rotation alignment. Never crank or run the engine with the pin installed.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE TIMING PIN BE REPLACED?
OEM timing pins rarely need replacement unless they become worn, bent, or damaged during service work.
