If fuel oil valve, piston, inlet and exhaust valves as well
as turbocharger and charge air cooler are working
correct and the compression pressure Pcomp is normal
the maximum combustion pressure will indicate the
injection timing for the fuel oil pump.
If Pmax is too low it indicates that the injection timing
is delayed.
If Pmax is too high it indicates that the injection timing
is advanced.
The injection timing can be altered by inserting or
removing shims under the thrust piece on the roller
guide, thus changing the measure “X”, see fig 1.
Thinner and/or fewer shims (increase of the distance
“X”) results in a delayed injection timing and a lower
Pmax.
Thicker and/or more shims (reduction of the distance
“X”) results in an advanced injection timing and a
higher Pmax.
If the distance “X” is to be changed the trigger (1) is
used for dismantling of the thrust piece (2), where-
after the thickness and/or the number of shims (3)
can be changed.
By changing “X” with 0.10 mm the maximum combu-
stion pressure is changed with - see page 500.35.

After replacement of shims the thrust piece is re-

mounted in the roller guide (4) with a soft hammer
(5).

When changing “X” it must be ensured that the di-
stance between the upper edge of the roller guide
housing and the thrust piece on the roller guide is not
exceeded, when the roller is resting on the circular
part of the fuel cam, see page 500.35.

In all cases “X” must be checked and adjusted, if

necessary, when fuel oil pump, roller guide, roller
guide housing and/or camshaft section have been
replaced/dismantled.

Note: If several fuel oil pumps, roller guides, rol-

ler guide housings and/or camshaft sections are
dismantled at the same time it is advisable to num-
ber the parts in order to facilitate remounting and
adjustment.

If the maximum combustion pressure differs from the

test bed records after adjustment of each individual
pump the camshafts placement can be changed,
as the camshafts gear wheels are provided with
oblonged holes so that they can be turned in relation
Fig. 4
to the hub.

The gear wheel is provided with an engraved scale,

see fig 4, and the hub of the cam shaft is provided If the crankshaft is turned in the engines normal

sure P-max. is reduced.
When the screws, which fasten the gear wheel, are
loosened the gear wheel is turned (by turning the If the crankshaft is turned against the engines normal
crankshaft) in relation to the camshaft. By reading direction of rotation the maximum combustion pres-
the angle in which the gear wheel is displaced in
relation to the camshaft the altered Pmax can be
calculated. A line on the scale corresponds to: see
page 500.35.
