NOTICE
The camshafts must be correctly timed with the crankshaft before an
adjustment of the unit injector lash is made. The timing pins must be
removed from the camshafts before the crankshaft is turned or
damage to the cylinder block will be the result.
The Electronic Control module produces high voltage. To prevent

personal injury make sure the Electronic Control Module is not
powered and the unit injector solenoids are disconnected.

Note: Calibration of the engine speed/timing sensor is not required unless the timing wheel has been
removed from the camshaft or the Electronic Control Module (ECM) has been changed.
This adjustment is critical. Ensure that the adjustment of the fuel injector is made properly.
1. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Crankshaft Position for Fuel Injector Adjustment and Valve
Lash Setting". All of the injectors can be checked or adjusted with the two crankshaft positions
in the chart. This will make sure that the pushrod lifters are off of the lobes and on the base
circles of the camshaft.
Before a check or an adjustment can be made, the tooling must be set to the correct dimension.

2. Place rod (2) in fixture (1) . Install extension (3) on fixture (1) . Install contact point (6) on dial
indicator (5) . Install dial indicator (5) in extension (3) .
3. Make sure that the surfaces of the fixture (1) and gauge (4) are clean and dry.

4. Place dial indicator assembly from Step 2 on the top surface of gauge (4) . Rod (2) must be on
the top step of gauge (4) .
Note: Gauge (4) has two steps. Make sure that the step designation is for the 64.34 mm (2.53
inch) dimension.
5. Loosen the nylon screw for the dial face of dial indicator (5) . Move the dial face of the dial
indicator (5) in rod sleeve extension (3) until all of the pointers indicate zero. Tighten the
nylon screw for the dial face of dial indicator (5) .
6. Make sure that the top surfaces of injector follower (7) and shoulder (8) are clean and dry.

7. Place dial indicator (5) and fixture (1) in position on the injector that will be checked. Make
sure that the magnetic base of the fixture is on the top surface of injector follower (7) . Rod (2)
must be on the top surface of shoulder (8) .
8. The dial indicator pointers must indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.000 ± 0.008 inch).
9. If the dial indicator pointers indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.000 ± 0.008 inch), no adjustment is
necessary. Proceed to the next injector to be checked. Repeat the procedure from Step 4. If the
dial indicator pointers do not indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.000 ± 0.008 inch), proceed to Step 10
and Step 11.
10. Loosen the adjustment screw locknut for the injector that is being adjusted.

11. Turn the adjustment screw until the dial indicator pointers indicate 0.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.000 ±
0.008 inch). Tighten the adjustment screw locknut to the torque that is listed in the engine's
Specifications manual. Then check the adjustment in order to be certain that the adjustment
has not changed. If necessary, repeat this procedure until the adjustment is correct. When the
adjustment is correct, proceed to the next injector to be checked. Repeat the procedure from
Step 3.
12. After all injectors are checked and/or adjusted, remove the timing bolt from the flywheel.
