Improvement Provides Better Sealing For Unit Injectors {1290}

Usage:


3114 (2ZF, 2FG, 3CK, 4RR, 97Z),
3116 (4TF, 3EJ, 1CK, 6RR, 7JS, 98Z),
3126 (55K, 6JK, 4CW) Machine Engines

Description of Change: An improvement has been added to mechanical unit injectors (MUI) in the above engines for Caterpillar built machines. A raised radius has been added to the nose cone at the nozzle end of the MUI. The radius provides a better sealing surface to the sleeve in the engine head and helps reduce combustion gas leakage. See the Illustration.

NOTE: The sleeve should be reamed before reinstalling the MUI for further control of combustion gas leakage.


Typical view of an MUI. (1) Raised radius.

Adaptable To: The improved mechanical unit injectors are effective with the above machine engines and adaptable back to first production.
