Fuel Injection Pump Bushing Torque Increased

Usage:


3406B (4MG, 5KJ, 7FB, 3ZJ, 8TC, 7XC) Engines

Reference: Truck Engine News; December 1986; Page 4; "Improved Retaining Bushing In Fuel Injection Pump " for 3406B...7FB Engines.

Description of Change: A phosphate coating permits the fuel injection pump bushing to be tightened to a higher torque. The increase in torque reduces leakage at the joint between the plunger and barrel assembly. Previously, the bushing was tightened to a torque of 230 ± 15 N·m (170 ± 10 lb ft). This could allow the bushing to leak. Typical symptoms may include possible misfire, low power, and poor fuel economy.

Adaptable To: The phosphate coated 7C6617 Bushing is a direct replacement for the former anodized coated 8N0656 Bushing used in the improved 2W3413 Fuel Injection Pump Group. To differentiate between the two bushing types, the improved phosphate coated bushing appears flat black or charcoal in color prior to painting, while the former anodized bushing is a shiny gold color. Tighten the 7C6617 Bushing to a torque of 245 ± 15 N·m (180 ± 10 lb ft).
