INJECTION NOZZLE FUEL SYSTEM
22.4 Inspection
Never attempt to disassemble the pump unless it is
necessary.If the pump is assumed defective, it is
recommended to replace the pump assembly.
22.5 Assembly
1. Insert the nozzle assembly into the retaining nut so
that the nozzle is correctly seated in the nut.
2. Place the distance piece, retaining pin, pressure
spring and shim washer on the nozzle tip.
3. Tighten the nozzle holder body fully by hand
4. Grip the nozzle holder in a vise. Tighten the
retaining nut to the specified torque.
22.6 Adjustment
Adjust injection starting pressure by increasing or
decreasing the thickness of inserting shim washer.
Varying shim thickness by 0.1 mm [0.0039 in.] causes
injection start pressure to change 0.98 MPa
(10 kgf/
cm
2) [142.3 psi].
Available shims:
10 kinds of shims available from 1.25 mm to 1.7 mm
[0.0492 to 0.0669 in.] in thickness, in increment of 0.05
mm [0.0020 in.].
