Adjust The Valves and N3 Fuel Injector Settings As Follows:: Series 60 Service Manual

SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL
Adjust the valves and N3 fuel injector settings as follows:

1. Disconnect starting power for engine.
2. Remove the engine valve rocker cover as outlined. Refer to section 1.6.2 for one-piece,
refer to section 1.6.3 for two-piece rocker cover, and refer to section 1.6.5 or three-piece
rocker cover.
3. Insert a 3/4 in. drive breaker bar or ratchet into the square hole in the center of the
crankshaft pulley.
4. Bar the engine in the direction of rotation and observe a cylinder where the injector
rocker arm is just beginning to depress the injector plunger, both the intake and exhaust
valves should be closed.
[a]
Stop turning the engine and mount a magnetic base dial indicator so you can monitor
the upward lift of travel of that injector lobe.
[b]
Set the pedestal of the dial indicator on the top of the injector cam roller. Adjust the
pedestal so it can travel the entire upward movement of the lobe.
[c]
Continue to slowly bar the engine over in the direction of rotation until the dial
indicator shows no more upward lift. The needle of the dial indicator will stop
moving indicating maximum lift.
[d]
This is the point of maximum injector roller lift, the injector can now be set.
[e]
If you rotate the engine beyond this point you will have to bar the engine over in the
opposite direction at least 1/4 turn and then bar the engine over in the direction of
rotation until maximum injector roller lift is obtained.
All information subject to change without notice.

6. This injector can now be set using this procedure:

[a]
Loosen the locknut on the adjusting screw at least two full turns.
[b]
Tighten the adjusting screw until the injector plunger bottoms out, torque value
should be 4.51 Nm (40 inlbs).
[c]
Back the adjusting screw off 3/4 of a turn 0.75 mm 0.25mm and tighten the locknut
to 41-47 Nm (30-35 lbft).
[d]
The injector is now adjusted.
7. Adjust the valves on the corresponding cylinders listed in Table 12-3a.

NOTICE:
Never set the valves and injector of the same cylinder at the
same time. Doing this will result in engine damage.
8. To adjust the intake valves, insert a 0.203 mm (0.008 in.) feeler gage between the tip of
the valve stem and the valve button at the end of the rocker arm. See Figure 12-7a.

9. Loosen the locknut, and turn the adjusting set screw until the feeler gage produces an even
smooth pull between the valve stem and valve button.
10. Torque the locknut to 41 - 47 Nm (30 - 35 lbft) and remove the feeler gage. Reinsert the
feeler gage to ensure that the adjustment did not change when the locknut was tightened.
Readjust as necessary.
