UNIT INJECTOR REPLACEMENT


The valve cover, rocker arms and shaft have been
removed so that you can see better. You can
see the injector and rack, the bellcrank lever
assembly and the control rod, and valve
bridges.
NOTICE: Place a clean shop towel below the
bellcrank and control rod bolt. The shop
towel can stop any parts that drop so they will
not fall into the cylinder head and the oil pan.
Remove the locknut and washer from the control rod

Tighten the bolts in the bracket and the locknut
on the control rod bolt.
The shop towel can now be removed from below the
bellcrank assembly. Move the control rod up and
down and make sure the rack and linage moves
freely. The injectors must be synchronized.
Injector synchronization is shown and explained
in slides 8 through 21 of this meeting guide. The
injectors can be synchronized with the rocker
arms and shaft in place, but it is easier to
synchronize the injectors before the rocker arms
and shaft are installed. Now install the rocker
arms and shaft.

INJECTOR SYNCHRONIZATION
The power setting screw is under the cover on the
governor side (right front side shown) of the
engine on the front gear housing. The top bolt
in the cover is the synchronization pin.
Injector synchronization is the setting of all injector
racks to a reference position so that each
injector sends the same amount of fuel to each
combustion chamber. This is done by setting
each injector rack to the reference position
while the control linkage is held in a fixed
position called the synchronizing position.

REVIEW
Let us review the control linkage of the unit injectors
and the power setting screw arrangement by
looking at this illustration.
We can see the power setting screw (2) in contact with
the fuel stop lever. The synchronization pin,
when installed, will also be in contact with the
fuel stop lever.
The synchronization pin sets the fuel stop lever at the
reference position for rack synchronization of
the fuel injectors. To make this adjustment, the
synchronization gauge is put on the rack (6) (see
slides 19,20, and 21).
The synchronization pin is also the ZERO reference
point for the dial indicator which is installed in
the hole to the right of the power setting screw.
When a check of the power setting is made, the
dial indicator is installed, put at ZERO, and then
used to measure the power setting: the setting of
the power setting screw.
NOTE: This illustration is not correct. The seal goes
through the cover bolt, not the synchronizing pin.

Turn the governor speed control lever clockwise in
the fuel ON direction until the flat face of
the fuel stop lever contacts the synchronizing
pin. This is the synchronizing position for
injector rack synchronization. It is also the
zero reference point for zeroing the dial
indicator for making a power setting
adjustment.
Hold the governor linkage in this position all the
time while each injector rack is being adjusted
and while the power setting adjustment is
made.

Put a screwdriver in the screw slot on the end of the


control rod and turn it one click at a time
until the 12.7mm synchronizing gauge just fits
between the end of the rack assembly and the
injector body. To get the setting correct, you
must get the correct feel with the gauge.
This feel is similar to the feel of a
clearance gauge when you check engine
valves.
DO NOT attempt to use the synchronizing gauge as
a stop because deflection of the linkage will
cause an incorrect adjustment.

Remove the screwdriver from the slot so that NO


pressure is on the linkage while checking the
setting with the synchronizing gauge. Any
pressure on the linkage with the screwdriver
will cause the setting (adjustment) to be
wrong. To make sure the linkage is free and
positioned normally, move (flip) the linkage
by placing the box end of a combination
wrench (9/16 or 5/8) over the nut and bolt
that holds the control rod to the bellcrank.
Pull up the control rod a little and release it
two or three times; then check the setting
again. Make the adjustment to all injectors.

CHECK POWER SETTING


Power setting is the adjustment of the power screw to a
measurement given in the specifications. The
power screw is adjusted to set the maximum
power output of the engine by limiting the
maximum travel of the torsion shafts and,
therefore, the movement of all injector racks.
Before the power setting is checked, make sure
that all injectors are correctly synchronized.
Leave the synchronizing pin tightened in place.
Move the governor linkage in the fuel ON
direction until the face of the fuel stop lever
contacts the synchronizing pin. Hold the linkage
in this position.
NOTE: For increased accuracy, use an FT1819
Governor Torque Arm (shown in the following
slide). The FT 1819 cant be used on trucks.
For all power settings, torque rise cam settings, and
synchronization, the governor to engine linkage
must be completely free. If need be,k it can be
freed by loosening the governor mounting bolts
and repositioning the governor slightly. If the
governor linkage is few, THE FT1819 ARM
ISNT REALLY NEEDED.

CHECK POWER SETTING


Turn the collet (5P4814) for the dial indicator into
the threaded hole to the right of the power
screw. Put the 76.2mm (3.0 inch) contact
point on the dial indicator and install it in the
collet. With the contact point against the fuel
stop lever face, move the indicator until the
indicator reads or is set on zero. Tighten the
nut on the collet.
NOTE: The dust cover on the top of the dial
indicator must be removed to give
clearance with the alternator mount
bracket.
Remove the synchronizing pin.
NOTE: The 3161 Governor was used for
illustration of these procedures.

ENGINE TIMING
Remove the plug (5M2613) from the front face of
the flywheel housing and the two (2) bolts
from the cover plate of the bore for the engine
turning tool. The longer bolt (L1352) is used
as the timing bolt to find the location of No. 1
piston on top center of the compression
stroke.
NOTE: LESV0508 3512 Engine Introduction,
Systems and Maintenance, the instruction
which starts with slide No. 92 gives an
explanation of the steps used to find top

ENGINE TIMING
Remove the right and left rear camshaft
compartment cover. There is a timing pin
(7N3370) stored under the right rear and left
rear camshaft compartment covers. Each
timing pin has a bolt which holds it on the
side of the block when it is not in use.

ENGINE TIMING
Look at the camshaft and see where the slot in the
camshaft is in relation to the timing pin hole
in the block. If you cant see the slot because
it is on the top side away from you, feel on
the back side of the camshaft for the slot.
Finding the position of the slot in the camshaft to
the timing pin hole in the block will give an
indication where No. 1 piston is in relation to
top center, compression stroke. When the slot
in the camshaft is in alignment with the
timing pin hole, No. 1 piston is at top center
on the compression stroke. The timing bolt
hole in the flywheel will also be in alignment
with the timing hole in the flywheel housing.
The timing bolt will turn into the timing hole
in the flywheel.
Now, put the engine at No. 1 piston at top center,
compression stroke.

are released from the camshaft.
NOTICE:WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED,
there is only a small clearance between the
pistons and the valves at top center, exhaust
stroke, etc. If the engine is NOT timed
correctly and the crankshaft is turned, it is
possible for the pistons to contact (strike) the
valves and cause damage.

NOTE: Loosen the rocker arm shaft bolts first, then


force the cam drive gear from the camshaft
taper. The injectors put a large force on
each of the cam lobes and can cause

UNIT INJECTOR TIMING


The dial indicator measures the distance from the
top of the injector follower to the injector
body surface. This measurement gives the
relation of the scroll on the plunger with the
ports in the barrel. Injector pump plunger
timing is a standard that permits the setting of
all unit injectors the same so that the
beginning of injection takes place in each
combustion chamber a specific number of
crankshaft degrees before top center.

UNIT INJECTOR TIMING


Injector pump plunger timing can be checked or
adjusted during the twocrank position
sequence for valve clearance setting, or
turning the crankshaft in the direction of
normal rotation until the injector is at
maximum height and the push rod is at its
lowest point (the lifter assembly is at its
lowers point on the base circle of the cam).
Use a wrench (3/4 inch) and loosen the
adjustment screw locknut of the rocker arm.

INSTALL WATER PUMP WATER SEAL


The water pump water seal can be changed (anew
seal installed) without removing the pump
from the engine. Remove cover. Remove
impeller. The seal is behind the impeller.
You can find a bad seal by looking at the weep hole
of the water pump. When the seal is bad,
coolant will leak out the weep hole.
NOTE: Service Training Video Tape 6.25 Inch
Bore Vee Engines-Cooling System, also
shows the installation of the jacket water
pump water seal. Video Tape 72
Reconditioning Water Pumps, can be used
to supplement this training.
