NOTE: The engine should be at a temperature not higher than 140F (600C) when
performing injector and valve adjustments.
Procedure
1. If you assume that you are starting with the No. 1 cylinder, the A or 1- 6 VS mark on
the accessory drive pulley will be aligned with the stationary pointer.
2. Bottom the injector plunger three to four times by installing an inch-pound (N.m)
torque wrench with a slotted screwdriver adapter in the adjusting screw slot. Turn the
torque wrench until it obtains a value of 25 in/lb. This action will remove all fuel
from below the plunger so that we can obtain an accurate setting.
3. Gently turn the injector rocker arm adjusting screw down until it just bottoms.
4. Carefully back out the injector adjusting screw 120 degrees, which is the equivalent
of two flats on the locknut. (Check to see lock-nut has 6 flats)
5. Hold the screw and tighten the locknut to between 40 and 45 lb-ft (54 to 61 Nm).
6. Adjust valves on same cylinder. (Use spec. off engine data plate)
