*Put No 1 piston at top center (TC) position and make
identification for the correct stroke. Make reference to Finding
Top Center Position For No. 1 Piston. After top center
position for a particular stroke is found and adjustments are
made for the correct cylinders, remove the timing bolt and
turn the flywheel counterclockwise 360 degrees. This will put
No. 1 piston at top center (TC) position on the other stroke.
Install the timing bolt in the flywheel and complete the
adjustments for the cylinders that remain.

NOTE:
Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0610 is included
with the 9U7305 Governor And Fuel System
Adjusting Tool Group and gives instructions for
the testing and adjusting procedure.
NOTE:
Either 1U6680 or 9U7305 Governor And Fuel
Adjusting Tool Groups can be used for testing
and adjusting. The following procedure is used
for the 1U6680 Governor and Fuel Adjusting Tool
Group.
Injector synchronization is the setting of all injector racks to a
reference position so each injector gives the same amount of
fuel to each cylinder. This is done by setting each injector rack
to the same position while the control linkage is in a fixed
position (called the synchronizing position).
The control linkage is at the synchronizing position when the
injector of the No. 1 cylinder is at fuel shutoff. Since the No. 1
injector is the reference point for the other injectors, no
synchronizing adjustment is made to the No. 1 injector.
Always synchronize an injector when it has been removed and
reinstalled or replaced. If the No. 1 injector is reinstalled or
replaced, all the injectors must be synchronized.
NOTE:
This procedure includes steps to remove the
rocker arm assemblies for the No. 1 injector and
for the injector to be checked. Removing the
rocker arm assemblies provides greater access to
the control linkage and injector rack. Checking
valve lash and fuel timing is recommended after
the rocker arm assemblies are reinstalled.
