NOTICE

Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel system are performed by authorised personnel that have the correct training.

Before begining ANY work on the fuel system, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information and High Pressure Fuel Lines" for safety information.

Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting Manual, "Cleanliness of Fuel System Components" for detailed information on the standards of cleanliness that must be observed during ALL work on the fuel system.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.



NOTICE

Use a deep socket in order to remove the electrical connections from the electronic unit injectors. Use of incorrect tooling will result in damage to the electronic unit injectors.

  9. Remove the plugs from the new fuel injection line. Loosely install the fuel injection line. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injecton Lines - Install".

    Note: Ensure that the ends of the fuel injection line are seated in the electronic unit injector and the fuel manifold. Tighten the nuts finger tight.

  10. Use Tooling (A) to tighten torx screw (12) to a torque of 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

    Note: Tooling (A) must be used to ensure no damage to the rocker arms.

  11. Use Tooling (D) to tighten the fuel injection line to a torque of 30 N·m (22 lb ft). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injecton Lines - Install".

    NOTICE

    Failure to ensure that ALL valve bridges are correctly seated onto the valve stems will cause interference between the pistons and the valves, resulting in damage to the engine.


  12. Install valve bridges (5) to the cylinder head. If valve bridges (5) are equipped with shrouds (16), ensure that the shrouds are located correctly.

    Note: Ensure that used valve bridges are reinstalled in the original location and the original orientation. Do not interchange the location or the orientation of used valve bridges.

  13. Ensure that the bottoms of the pushrods are seated in the cups of the valve lifters. Locate the balls of adjusters (2) into the cups of pushrods (4). Adjust the valve lash. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust".

  14. Use a deep socket to install harness assembly (9) to electronic unit injector (11). Use Tooling (E) to tighten connections (10) to a torque of 2.4 N·m (21 lb in).

  15. Tighten banjo bolt (6) for tube assembly (7). Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 21 N·m (15 lb ft).

  16. Install the valve mechanism cover. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Valve Mechanism Cover - Remove and Install".

  17. Turn the fuel supply to the ON position.

  18. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON position.

  19. Remove the air from the fuel system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information.
