I need to see the injector set up procedure fo9r this engine
I need to see the injector set up procedure fo9r this engine
Thanks any help would be appreciatedI might I will have to look I believe you turn engine until injector is fully depressed then torque it to 60 inch pounds it has been a wile so I might be off on the torque
When I set the injector at the VS mark to 60 inch pounds I rotate toward the next VS mark and the injector push rod has more travel toward injection. Ultimately the engine locks at that point. I set the injectors to zero lash with success but upon acceleration the engine blows grey smoke indicating under fueling. Any thoughts.Your crank pully will be marked with the valve set position such as 1-6 VS at this mark set the valves on which ever set of valves are loose and the injector.
rotate crankshaft in direction of rotation to next mark and set every thing should have all set in 2 rotations.
Good luck

On any VS mark you set the valves on the cyl. that is on compression stroke ie. the valves will both be closed .On this cyl. you set the injector with your torque wrench .Then go on to the next VS mark , you have to roll the motor over trice to set all the injectors.When I set the injector at the VS mark to 60 inch pounds I rotate toward the next VS mark and the injector push rod has more travel toward injection. Ultimately the engine locks at that point. I set the injectors to zero lash with success but upon acceleration the engine blows grey smoke indicating under fueling. Any thoughts.
I have seen a procedure using a dial indicator to get the injector lob to top of travel and then set the torque.
Have you every seen this problem or procedure?
Yes you are .When a particular injector is set, should it not be at the injection point or maximum stroke.
As I stated earlier when I set the injector with the torque wrench method and start to rotate to the next vs mark the push rod of the injector that was just set will continue to travel into a depressed position. Should it not be at max travel at the vs mark.
I do understand that the position of vs1 for instance does not mean set injector 1.
I am following the table.
I hate to sound dumb but is it possible that I was sent the wrong injectors?
