Section 1, Mechanical Unit Injector Engines

This section provides all the testing and adjustment procedures for mechanical unit injector (MUI) engines. For Testing and Adjusting electronic unit injectors (EUI) engines, refer to Section 2 of this manual.

Start-up Procedure

Use the following procedure in order to start an engine following fuel system or governor repair:

  1. The technician should be prepared to activate the emergency stop button.

  1. Disconnect the air inlet system from the turbochargers.

    ------ WARNING! ------

    Be careful when plate is put against the air inlet opening.

    Excessive suction can pull the plate quickly against the air inlet opening.

    To avoid crushed fingers, do not put fingers between plate and air inlet opening.

    ----------------------

  1. Place a service person in position near each turbocharger air inlet. Equip the service person with a piece of steel plate. Each piece of steel plate must be large enough to cover each turbocharger air inlet.

  1. Start the engine. If the engine starts to run too fast or the engine runs out of control, immediately activate the emergency stop button. Also, place the steel plates against the turbocharger air inlets. The plates will stop the air supply to the engine, and the engine will stop.

In place of 9U-6273 Rod Sleeve Extension, order and use 136-4587 Collet Extension. This extension accepts the 5P-4814 Clamp Collet. Use two 6V-7918 Wrenches (or 5/8 inch open-end wrenches) to tighten the collet on the indicator stem.

General Set-up Information


NOTICE

Camshafts must be timed correctly with the crankshaft before an adjustment of fuel timing is made. The timing pins must be removed from the camshafts before the crankshaft is turned, or damage to the cylinder block will result.


Refer to the "Crankshaft positions For unit Injector Lash and Valve Lash Setting" chart in this manual and put the engine in time. With the two crankshaft positions given in the chart, all of the injectors can be checked or adjusted. This will make sure that the push-rod lifters are off the lobes and on the base circles of the camshafts.

Refer to the "Fuel Setting Adjustment" in this manual for the correct fuel timing dimension to use. The range of timing dimensions are given in the "Dial Indicator Setting" chart in this manual.

Using the 1U-8869 Digital Dial Indicator (preferred method)




Illustration 4g00322956

1U-8869 Dial Indicator

  1. The digital dial indicator must be programmed to read actual timing dimensions. Since the 9U-5138 Setting Gauge in the timing and fuel setting tool group is 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch), set the digital dial indicator for 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch). Use the following steps in order to program the indicator to read 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch).

    1. Turn the indicator to the ON position by pushing the "on/off" button.

    1. Push the "in/mm" button so the display shows "mm".

    1. A negative "-" sign should be in the display window under "REV". If that space is blank, push the "+/−" button so the display shows a negative "-" sign. When this is done, the movement of the plunger into the indicator will be displayed. The display will be shown as a negative movement. The movement of the plunger out of the indicator will be displayed as a positive movement.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until there is a flashing "P" in the upper right corner of the display. Then release the button.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until the flashing "P" disappears and a flashing indicator bar is seen in the lower left corner of the display. Then release the button. Use the preset button so that this position is blank.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until the flashing indicator begins flashing under the first number position. The first number position is located in the fourth position to the left of the decimal. Then release the button. Momentarily pushing the preset will cause the display number in that position to change. Use the preset until this position reads zero (0).

    1. Use the preset button to move the flashing indicator and change the display numbers until the display shows 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch). Push the preset button and hold the preset button until the flashing "P" is shown in the upper right corner of the display. Release the preset button. Momentarily push the preset button so the flashing "P" and the zeroes to the left of 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) disappear.

    1. The indicator can now be turned off. The indicator will retain the preset number in memory. To recall the preset number, repeat Steps 1.a through 1.d.

  1. Install a 5P-4160 Indicator Contact Point in the indicator stem.

  1. Install the indicator into the 9U-5233 Magnetic Fixture Group . Leave the collet loose.

    (5) Shoulder on fuel injector body

  1. Momentarily push the preset button on the digital dial indicator in order to stop the "P" in the upper right-hand corner from flashing. The display should show 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch). Place the 1U-8869 Dial Indicator and the 9U-5233 Magnetic Fixture Group in the correct position on the injector. Make sure that the magnetic base of the timing fixture is on the top surface of injector follower (4). The extension rod rests on the top surface of shoulder on fuel injector body (5) .

    Note: The top surfaces of injector follower (4) and shoulder on fuel injector body (5) must be clean and dry for accurate readings.

  1. The digital dial indicator should now read the actual fuel timing dimension of the injector that is being checked.

  1. No adjustment is necessary if the dial indicator reads the correct fuel timing dimension. Refer to the TMI (Technical Marketing Information) for the engine that is being checked. Proceed to Step 13.

  1. If the dial indicator does not read the correct fuel timing dimension or the desired fuel timing dimension, proceed with Steps 10 through 13.

  1. Ensure that the 1U-8869 Dial Indicator and the 9U-5233 Magnetic Fixture Group are in the correct position on the injector. Loosen the locknut for the pushrod adjustment screw.

  1. Turn the adjustment screw until the desired fuel timing dimension is read on the digital dial indicator.

    Note: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will lower the fuel timing dimension. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise will increase the fuel timing dimension.

    Tighten the adjustment screw locknut to a torque of 70 ± 15 N·m (50 ± 11 lb ft) and check adjustment again. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the adjustment is correct.

  1. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel when the fuel timing check is completed.

  1. Turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of normal engine rotation. Install the timing bolt for the flywheel. Repeat the procedure for the other half of the engine.

(6) 9U-5220 Timing Fixture Rod

  1. Install the 8S-3675 Indicator Contact Point onto the dial indicator stem.

  1. Install Sleeve Extension (5) in the small diameter tube of Timing Fixture (2). Place Rod Assembly (6) in Sleeve Extension (5) .

  1. Install Dial Indicator (1) in Sleeve Extension (5) .

  1. Put Dial Indicator (1) and Timing Fixture (2) onto the Set Gauge (3). The Timing Fixture (2) should be on the top surface of the Set Gauge (3) with the Rod Assembly (6) on the bottom 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) step.

  1. Move the Dial Indicator (1) in the Sleeve Extension (5) until both needles indicate zero. Tighten Nylon Screw (4). The dial indicator has now been zeroed to a standard fuel timing dimension of 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch).

    Note: Some Dial Indicators (1) have a 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) smaller diameter extending about 4.0 mm (0.158 inch) up from the end of their stems. When zeroing these indicators in the bore of the 122-0449 Rod Sleeve Extension the Nylon Screw (4) will contact the indicator stem on this step. This can cause the indicator to cock in the bore and result in incorrect readings. It is recommended that the 136-4587 Collet Extension and 5P-4814 Collet Clamp be used with these "stepped" indicator or that the 1U-8869 Dial Indicator be used.

  1. Subtract 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) (gauge dimension) from the desired fuel timing dimension (obtained from (TMI) Technical Marketing Information)

    Note: To obtain a positive indicator setting, move the indicator downward. This will move the large needle clockwise or in the positive direction increasing the fuel timing dimension from 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch).
    To obtain a negative indicator setting, move the indicator upward. This will move the large needle counterclockwise or in the negative direction decreasing the fuel timing dimension from 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch).

    1. Example 1: Desired fuel timing dimension is 87.50 mm (3.4449 inch).

      Subtract 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) from the desired fuel timing dimension 87.50 mm (3.4449 inch).

      87.50 mm (3.4449 inch) - 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) = +0.50 mm (0.0197 inch)

      In this case loosen Nylon Screw (4) and move the dial indicator downward until the indicator reads a positive 0.50 mm (0.0197 inch). Then tighten the Nylon Screw (4) again.

    1. Example 2: Desired fuel timing dimension is 86.20 mm (3.3937 inch)

      Subtract 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) from the desired fuel timing dimension 86.20 mm (3.3937 inch).

      86.20 mm (3.3937 inch) - 87.00 mm (3.4252 inch) = −0.80 mm (−0.03150 inch)

      In this case loosen Nylon Screw (4) and move the dial indicator upward until the indicator reads negative 0.80 mm (0.03150 inch). Then tighten the nylon screw again.

  1. Make sure the top surfaces of (7) and (8) are clean and dry.

  1. Put Dial Indicator (1) and Timing Fixture (2) in position on the injector to be checked. Make sure that the magnetic base of the timing fixture is on top surface of Injector Follower (7) and the extension rod is on the top surface of Injector Shoulder (8) .

  1. The dial indicator pointers must indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.00000 ± 0.0079 inch)

  1. If the dial indicator pointers indicate zero or are within the tolerance given in 8, no adjustment is necessary. Proceed to step 13.

  1. If the dial indicator pointers do not indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.00000 ± 0.0079 inch), continue with step 11 through step 13.



    Illustration 10g03402450

    Typical example of adjusting fuel timing.

  1. Loosen the push rod adjustment screw locknut for the injector to be adjusted.

  1. Turn the adjustment screw until zero is read on the dial indicator.

    Note: If the dial indicator reading is greater than 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.00000 ± 0.0079 inch), then turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise (CCW). If the dial indicator is less than 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.00000 ± 0.0079 inch), then turn the adjustment screw clockwise (CW).

  1. Tighten the adjustment screw locknut to 70 ± 15 N·m (51.63 ± 11.06lb ft). If necessary, repeat procedure until the adjustment is correct.

  1. Rotate engine, re-pin the flywheel, and repeat the procedure for the other half of the engine that has not yet been adjusted.

Injector Synchronization Procedure

Table 7
Tools Needed    
8T-2684 Rack Synchronization Gauge     1    

Injector synchronization is the setting of all fuel injector racks to a reference position. This ensures that each injector gives the same amount of fuel to each cylinder. Injector synchronization is done by setting each fuel injector rack to the same position while the control linkage is in a fixed position. Use the following procedure for the adjustment of injector synchronization:




Illustration 11g00323443

Location of fuel setting cover and synchronization pin (typical example)

(1) Plug

(2) Synchronization pin

(3) Cover

  1. The top bolt that holds the cover (3) in position is the synchronization pin (2). Remove the synchronization pin (2) and plug (1) from the front drive housing. DO NOT destroy the seal or remove cover (3) .

  1. Remove the washer from the synchronization pin. Remove the plug and install the synchronization pin into the threaded hole. Tighten the synchronization pin.

    Position of the synchronization pin (typical example)

    (2) Synchronization pin

    (4) Fuel stop lever

  1. Turn the governor or the actuator terminal shaft to the fuel ON position. The flat face of fuel stop lever (4) will contact synchronization pin (2). This is the synchronizing position or zero reference point. Hold the control linkage in this position when the injectors are adjusted.

  1. Remove the valve covers.

    Location for gauge and control rod adjustment (typical example)

    (5) 8T-2684 Rack Synchronization Gauge

    (6) Control rod

  1. With the fuel stop lever against the synchronization pin, put the 8T-2684 Rack Synchronization Gauge (5) on the round part of the fuel injector rack between the fuel injector body and the end of the rack. Use a screwdriver and make an adjustment of control rod (6). Turn the screw that is located on the control rod one click at a time until the 8T-2684 Rack Synchronization Gauge fits between the fuel injector body and the shoulder at the end of the rack. Remove the screwdriver from the control rod so that no pressure remains on the linkage. Check the setting with the rack synchronization gauge. Any pressure on the linkage with the screwdriver will not give a correct indication when the setting is checked with the rack synchronization gauge. Ensure that the linkage is free and that the linkage is giving an accurate setting by moving the linkage. Check the setting again. Put the box end of a combination wrench over the nut and the bolt. The nut and the bolt connect control rod (6) and the bellcrank. Pull upward on the control rod three times. Check the setting again.

1U-8869 Dial Indicator

  1. The digital dial indicator must be programmed to read 64.34 mm (2.5331 inch) since this is the correct dimension for electronic unit injector engines. The following steps show how to program the indicator to read 64.34 mm (2.5331 inch).

    1. Turn the indicator to the ON position by pushing the "on/off" button.

    1. Push the "in/mm" button so the display shows "mm".

    1. A negative "-" sign should be in the display window under "REV". If that space is blank, push the "+/−" button so the display shows a negative "-" sign. When this is done, the movement of the plunger into the indicator will be displayed. The display will be shown as a negative movement. The movement of the plunger out of the indicator will be displayed as a positive movement.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until there is a flashing "P" in the upper right corner of the display. Then release the button.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until the flashing "P" disappears and a flashing indicator bar is seen in the lower left corner of the display. Then release the button. Use the preset button so that this position is blank.

    1. Push the preset button and hold the preset button down until the flashing indicator begins flashing under the first number position. The first number position is located in the fourth position to the left of the decimal. Then release the button. Momentarily pushing the preset will cause the display number in that position to change. Use the preset until this position reads zero (0).

    1. Use the preset button to move the flashing indicator and change the display numbers until the display shows 64.34 mm (2.5331 inch). Push the preset button and hold the preset button until the flashing "P" is shown in the upper right corner of the display. Release the preset button. Momentarily push the preset button so the flashing "P" and the zeroes to the left of 64.34 mm (2.5331 inch) disappear.

    1. The indicator can now be turned off. The indicator will retain the preset number in memory. To recall the preset number, repeat Steps 1.a through 1.d.

  1. Install a 5P-4160 Indicator Contact Point in the indicator stem.

    Illustration 24g03402922

  1. Momentarily push the preset button on the digital dial indicator in order to stop the "P" in the upper right-hand corner from flashing. The display should show 87.00 mm. Place the 1U-8869 Dial Indicator and the 9U-5233 Magnetic Fixture Group in the correct position on the injector. Make sure that the magnetic base of the timing fixture is on the top surface of injector follower (7) and that the extension rod is on the top surface of shoulder on fuel injector body (8) .

    Note: The top surfaces of injector follower (7) and shoulder on fuel injector body (8) must be clean and dry.

  1. The digital dial indicator should now read the actual fuel timing dimension of the injector that is being checked.

  1. No adjustment is necessary if the dial indicator reads the correct fuel timing dimension. Refer to the TMI (Technical Marketing Information) for the engine that is being checked. Proceed to Step 13.

  1. If the dial indicator does not read the correct fuel timing dimension or the desired fuel timing dimension, proceed with Steps 10 through 14.

  1. Ensure that the Indicator (5) and the Fixture Group (1) are in the correct position on the injector. Loosen the locknut for the pushrod adjustment screw.

  1. Turn the adjustment screw until the desired fuel timing dimension is read on indicator (1).

    Note: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will lower the fuel timing dimension. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise will increase the fuel timing dimension.

  1. Tighten the adjustment screw locknut to a torque of 70 ± 15 N·m (50 ± 11 lb ft) and check adjustment again. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the adjustment is correct.

  1. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel when the fuel timing check is completed.

  1. Turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of normal engine rotation. Install the timing bolt for the flywheel. Repeat the procedure for the other half of the engine.
