QSK23 - Injector Mark Test
WARNING
If the 204°C [400°F] mark melts (1) the color will disappear and
leave only a transparent glazed appearance where the mark
was. This indicates that the cylinder is operating to a
temperature above 204°C [400°F].
If the 204°C [400°F] mark does not melt (2) the mark color
remains present. This indicates that the cylinder is not
operating to temperature of 204°C [400°F], indicating a
possible injector malfunction. For additional troubleshooting
information, go to Engine Runs Rough or Misfires
troubleshooting symptom tree in Section TS.
Note : It is not recommended to use the temperature
indicator markers to troubleshoot for cylinders that are
operating too hot.
Remove the rocker lever covers and check to be sure all of the
injector links are intact. If they are intact, install the rocker
lever covers. If they are not intact, follow the injector
inspection step in this procedure.
Warm up the engine by running at high idle to stabilize the
exhaust temperature. If the exhaust temperatures are within
38°C [100°F], then all injector s are firing and working
correctly.
Remove the fuel pump return and supply lines and install a 50
litre [15 gallon] isolated fuel supply tank.
Add one unit of fluorescent tracer, Part Number 3376891, to
each 38 litres [10 gallons] of fuel.
Preparatory Steps
WARNING
Depending on the circumstance, fuel is flammable. When
inspecting or performing service or repairs on the fuel
system, to reduce the possibility of fire and resulting
severe personal injury, death, or property damage, never
smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights,
electrical switches, or welding equipment) in the work
area.
CAUTION
Do not spill or drain fuel into the bilge area when
disconnecting or removing fuel lines, replacing filters,
and priming the fuel system. Do not drop or throw filter
elements into the bilge area. The fuel and fuel filters must
be disposed of in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
Remove
Note : The hold-down clamp can not be removed until
the injector is removed.
Remove the injector hold-down capscrew. Remove the
injector and clamp.
Carefully check the area where the sealing ring touches the
injector .
Inspect o-ring grooves for damage.
WARNING
When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for
cleaning, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the
possibility of personal injury.
Check the rail (6) and timing (7) filter screens for debris, tears,
or punctures. Replace the filter screens if damaged or dirty.
Check the rail (6) and timing (7) filter screens for proper
installation.
Install
Do not lubricate the o-rings until the injector is ready for
installation in the cylinder head.
The slide hammer will make a dull sound when the injector is
seated properly.
