To adjust the unit injectors on cylinders 3, 5, and 6 use the following procedure:

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

2. Injector height gauge (4) is used in order to obtain a dimension of 78.0 0.2 mm (3.07
0.01 inch). The dimension is measured from the top of the unit injector to the machined
ledge of the fuel injector body.

3. Turn unit injector adjusting screw (2) clockwise until the correct height is obtained.

4. Hold the adjusting screw in this position and tighten locknut (3) to a torque of 100 10 N·m
(74 7 lb ft).

5. To adjust the unit injectors on cylinders 1, 2, and 4, remove the timing bolt. Turn the
flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine rotation. The direction of engine rotation
is counterclockwise, as the engine is viewed from the flywheel end. This will put the
number 1 piston at the top center position on the exhaust stroke.

6. Repeat Steps 3 through 4.

7. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all the unit injector adjustments have been
made. Reinstall the valve mechanism cover.

MEUI C Injector Adjustment For C13

1. Set the engine to Top Dead Center (TDC) for number 1 piston. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

2. Set injectors 3, 5, and 6 using the procedure that follows.

a. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise for the injector rocker mechanism until it
touches the top of the injector.

b. Turn the adjustment screw an additional 180 degrees clockwise.

c. Hold the adjustment screw and torque the nut to 55 10 N·m (41 7 lb ft).

3. To adjust injectors 1, 2, and 4 rotate the engine 360 degrees and pin the flywheel.

a. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise for the injector rocker mechanism until it
touches the top of the injector.

b. Turn the adjustment screw an additional 180 degrees clockwise.

c. Hold the adjustment screw and torque the nut to 55 10 N·m (41 7 lb ft).
