EXCERPT:
Individual fuel injection lines carry fuel from the fuel injection pumps to each cylinder. One section of line connects between the fuel injection pump and an adapter on the valve cover base. Another section of line on the inside of the valve cover base connects between the adapter and the fuel injection nozzle (3).
The fuel filters and priming pump are located in a compartment at the front of the fuel tank. The fuel transfer pump is mounted on a drive adapter on the fuel injection pump housing, and is driven by a shaft connected to the fuel injection pump camshaft. Fuel transfer pump relief valve (14) is located in the cover of the pump.
Fuel priming pump (13) is used before the engine is started to put pressure in the fuel system and to vent air from the system. A check valve (9) located in the fuel transfer pump adapter housing will let fuel go around the fuel transfer pump when the priming pump is in use.
There is no bleed orifice or valve installed on the fuel injection pump housing to vent air from this part of the fuel system. Air trapped in the fuel injection lines can be vented by loosening all of the fuel injection line nuts where they connect to the adapters in the valve cover base. Move the governor lever to the low idle position. Crank the engine with the starting motor until fuel without air comes from the fuel line connections. Tighten the fuel line nuts. This procedure is necessary because the fuel priming pump will not give enough pressure to push fuel through the reverse flow check valves in the fuel injection pumps of a direct injection system.
An automatic timing advance unit is mounted on the front of the fuel injection pump camshaft. It is driven by the engine camshaft gear inside the front timing gear housing. The automatic timing advance unit gives easier starting and smooth low speed operation. It will also advance timing as engine speed increases to give correct engine operation efficiency.

Bridge Adjustment (If Equipped)

When the head is disassembled, keep the bridges with the respective cylinders. Adjustment of the bridge will be necessary for the following reasons. The battle of polytopia crack.

  • Grinding the engine's valves
  • Resurfacing or reconditioning the engine's cylinder head

The bridge should be checked and/or adjusted when the valves have been adjusted. Use the procedure that follows to make an adjustment to the bridge.


Illustration 1g00363479

Bridge adjustment

Note: Valves must be fully closed.

  1. Apply engine oil on the bridge dowel in the cylinder head. Apply engine oil in the bore in the bridge.
  1. Install the bridge with the adjustment screw toward the exhaust manifold.
  1. Loosen the locknut for the adjustment screw. Loosen the adjustment screw for several turns.
  1. Put a force on the bridge with a finger. This will keep the bridge in contact with the valve stem opposite the adjustment screw.
  1. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the adjustment screw makes contact with the valve stem. Then, turn the adjustment screw 20 to 30 degrees more in a clockwise direction. This will make the bridge straight on the dowel. Also, this will make compensation for the clearance in the threads of the adjustment screw.
  1. Hold the adjustment screw in this position. Tighten the locknut to 47 ± 9 N·m (35 ± 7 lb ft).
  1. Use clean engine oil to lubricate the contact points of the bridge assembly and the rocker arm.

Valve Lash Setting

Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the bridge for the inlet valves. Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve stem for the exhaust valve. All of the clearance measurements and the adjustments must be made with the engine stopped. The valves must be fully closed.

Valve Lash Check

An adjustment is not necessary if the measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable range. The ranges are given in the following tables.

Valve lash

To make an adjustment to the valve lash, turn the adjustment screw in the rocker arm. Valve lash adjustments can be made by using the following procedure:

Adjust the valve lash while the engine is stopped. Use the following procedure in order to adjust the valves:

  1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position.

    Note: See Testing and Adjusting, 'Finding Top Center Position for the No. 1 Piston' for further details.

  1. With No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an adjustment can be made to the valves.

    Before any adjustments are made, lightly tap each rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw. Use a soft mallet to ensure that the lifter roller seats against the camshaft's base circle.
