Every video I see is all the same. you guys show how to use the gauge, but do not show the camshaft lobe position wich is te most important part, thanks for the video

Best money making chunk of cast iron and steel ever made.

So this is what the torque monster looks like under the cover.Thanks for posting this video.

the wires go to the control solenoid on the injector. it controls the beginning and ending of injection. this type of injector is common on detroit but later models used what i beleive were called e3 injectors. they were adjusted much like injectors on a cummins n14. these are as simple as it gets using the hockey stick as we call it. the cummins injectors arent bad either, you just lightly tighten the injector plunger a few times, lightly bottom it out, then back it off 120 degrees.

The injector height is listed in the service manual by serial number and each height guage is individual by thickness.

Do you know what part number the tool is to set the high ?

[@ghostbuilder3187]

Cylinder 6 has nothing to do with cylinder 3. You adjust the valves when the companion cylinder is on valve overlap. Companion cylinders are 1&6 2&5 3&4. For example cylinder 6 tdc after the scavenging phase exhaust valve just closed adjust the valves on cylinder 1. And the injectors, the firing order is 153624 so when adjust the injectors the same time asthe valves because the injectors fire on the compression stroke a lil before tdc. And the wires going to the injectors control the metering of the fuel to the injector while the camshaft actuates the injector [and the valves to the smart asses:)].

absolutely correct!

[@ghostbuilder3187]

cylinder deactivation like cutting fuel at highway speed to save on fuel. No not to my knowledge.

if the injector is adjusted properly there should be 2 threads above the jam nut when done. if not something is wrong. also if you put about 8 rounds of electrical tape around the flag post just under the flag it will keep the flag parallel to the inj plunger. now watch the bottom of the flag post where it sits in the inj. put one finger on the top of the flag post and move very slightly out and in. if the post wiggles- too high if the post doesn't wiggle- too low. eh! Detroit injectors have a crimp where the lower needle is attached to the main plunger. if the injector gets bottomed out that crimp is suppose to prevent pushing the tip out the bottom of the injector. if that crimp is moved at all the injector needs to be replaced.

[@jimshowtovideos]

is the injector height set with the injector up or down?

[@vali1958]

Thanks for the video. It is possible one of regulations S60, DD5 ..

U work on or install owner op motors if needed 2 8v92 twin turbo? Need mech?

[@Denkha94]

Hi their what are the wires going to the injector? thank you.

[@southbranch72]

Wow u wearing mittens while ur doin that? Hate to c u doin it in a truck.

[@mrjeffery420]

Part number for injector height tool plz?

[@leavitttrucking1]

my ddec 3 60 series detroit won't start. It ran fine until one day it died and it took along time to start. i had to force fuel into injectors. I had it sitting for about 2 yrs starting off and on every now and then. I put new fuel pump on and still would'nt start. Tried to pull start no luck. what is the problem. It's always been reliable engine

[@michaellacey3804]

At The Beginning Of This Video Shows The Cam. #6 Is The Injector That Should Be Adjusted Not #5

[@4thGloryMonday]

its on the side of the valve cover

[@bruced5941]

I'm with the other commenter, that if you don't know what your doing. Don't make a video with mistakes and you dropping tools. Are you really teaching at a college?

[@paulohenriquert]

cahatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@ernestcodrington4931]

This is the worst demonstration I've ever seen. Is this guy a teacher? They are both making a simple check/adjustment as complicated as you can get. Detroit should make these jokers pull this Demo. TE
