JEF346Y
Inspection for Spill Tube AirtightnessNJEC0619S01Before the rocker cover is installed, perform the inspection as fol-
lows.
1. Connect the handy vacuum pump to the spill hose.
2. Check that the airtightness is maintained after the negative
pressure shown below is applied.
Standard:
±53.3 to ±66.7 kPa (±533 to ±667 mbar, ±400 to ±500
mmHg, ±15.75 to ±19.69 inHg)
JEF347Y
Air Bleeding of Fuel PipingNJEC0619S02After the repair, bleed air in the piping by pumping the priming
pump up and down until it becomes heavy.
JEF348Y
Injection Pressure TestNJEC0619S031. Install injection nozzle assembly to injection nozzle tester and
bleed air from flare nut.
2. Pump the tester handle slowly (one time per second) and
watch the pressure gauge.
3. Read the pressure gauge when the injection pressure just
starts dropping.
Initial injection pressure:
New
21,476 - 22,457 kPa (214.7 - 224.5 bar, 219 - 229
kg/cm
2, 3,114 - 3,256 psi)
Limit
18,275 kPa (182.7 bar, 186 kg/cm
2, 2,650 psi)
+The injection nozzle assembly has a 2-stage pressure injection
function. However, the judgement should be made at the first
stage of the valve opening pressure.
Always check initial injection pressure using a new nozzle.
