Improved Retaining Bushing In Fuel Injection Pump

Usage:


3406B (7FB) Truck Engines

Description of Change: A new fuel injection pump retaining bushing with a phosphate coating is now used on the above engines. The phosphate coating has a built-in lubricating quality that reduces friction. The coating will help maintain a constant load on the components at assembly. Previously, inadequate joint loading caused fretting on the surfaces between the bonnet and the plunger assembly. See illustration.


Location of components.
