Kta50 Injector Timing
Kta50 Injector Timing
html)
General Information
The injection timing is the relative measurement of the distance
remaining between the injector plunger and the injector cup when
the piston is 5.16 mm [0.2032 in], or 19 degrees before top dead
center on the compression stroke.
The next six illustrations are a brief review of the injection timing
and how it can be adjusted.
Advanced timing means the fuel is injected earlier into the cylinder
during the compression stroke. Retarded timing means the fuel
injection occurs closer to top dead center in the cylinder.
The amount of push rod travel determines the time of fuel injection
in relation to the piston position.
Gear train timing (index mark alignment) always remains the same.
Offset keys allow the camshaft profile to be rotated slightly while the
gear train timing remains the same.

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.
CAUTION
The shaft must fit correctly on both ring dowels. Install the
capscrews.
CAUTION
Do not use the original Grade 5 hex head capscrews. Use of
these parts with the increased torque can result in capscrew
failure and engine damage.
Measure
Note : In order to prevent incorrect readings the camshaft
thrust plates must be tightened prior to taking
measurements. Refer to Procedure 001-008 in Section 1.
(/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/28/28-001-008-tr.html)
Note : The injection timing must be measured on at least
one cylinder on each engine bank.
Use the injection timing tool, Part Number 3824942. The indicators
(1) and (2) are identical.
Align the push rod plunger support with the mark. Tighten the
capscrew.
Install the indicators (1) and (2) on the posts. Turn the indicators so
they are not over the plungers.
Install the injector push rod (8) for cylinder Number 1 "RB".
Install the timing tool in the injector bore for Number 1 "RB". Install
the hold-down adapters.
Align the push rod plunger and the rod to be sure they are straight.
CAUTION
Use only the crankshaft to rotate the engine. The use of the
gears will result in false measurements. Gear lash must be
closed up in the direction of normal rotation (crankshaft
clockwise).
If both plungers are not moving up (one up and one down), the
engine is on the exhaust stroke. Rotate the crankshaft 1 revolution
(360 degrees) to set it at the compression stroke.
With the piston at top dead center, turn the push rod indicator so
that the stem touches the plunger.
Carefully lower the indicator unit until it bottoms. Raise the indicator
until the needle has turned a minimum of 3 revolutions [0.300 in].
Lock the indicator in position.
Carefully lower the push rod travel indicator until it bottoms. Raise
the indicator approximately 1/2 of a revolution [0.050 in]. "LOCK"
the indicator in position.
Note : Only move the piston to [0.2032 in] before top dead
center by turning the crankshaft in the direction of normal
rotation. If you accidently turn the crankshaft too far, you
must turn the crankshaft opposite the direction of normal
rotation MORE than [0.2032 in] before top dead center.
Then very slowly turn the crankshaft in the direction of
normal rotation until the indicator shows that the piston is
[0.2032 in] before top dead center.
Note : All K38 and K50 injection timing specifications are
more than 1 indicator revolution [0.100 in].
Read the push rod travel indictor counterclockwise from "0". This
is the injection timing measurement to compare to the specification.
An example of [0.118 in] is shown.
If you are not sure of the number of push rod indicator revolutions,
check by carefully raising the indicator stem until the indicator has
bottomed. Lower the stem the amount of excess travel you set in
the third preceding step. Lower the stem to the plunger. Read the
indicator.
If the timing is still not within specification, the camshaft key must
be changed. Refer to Procedure 001-012 (Camshaft Gear
(Camshaft Installed)) in Section 1, for instructions to remove the
camshaft gear. (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/28/28-001-
012.html)
Record the orientation of any offset of the key. Use the following
worksheet to determine an alternate key.
Note : The timing measurement must be verified after
changing the key.
Note : When using a testing gear, the camshaft timing will
tend to drop by [0.002 in] after the standard gear is installed.
Target the camshaft timing upper limit to prevent the need to
repeat the process.
Answer each of the following questions in the spaces provided. The answers to the questions and the
use of Tables A, B, and C will determine the timing key required to correct the injection timing.
A working example is attached for your review to illustrate the use of this worksheet.

Answer the following questions
BEFORE using Table C to
determine the new timing key
part number.
Find the current key part
9. number listed at the top of
the column on Table C.
Move up or down the
column (the answer to
question 8). Do not pass
0.000 (zero).
If you pass 0.000 (zero), you will be choosing a key that does the opposite of what you want it to do.
Stop when you locate the number nearest (± 0.002 in) to the required change in push rod travel (answer
to question 5). Remain in this row. Move you finger to the right. The result is the new key part number
and direction of offset the timing key must point.
Note : Each column on Table C indicates the change in the push rod travel. The change will
result if the key at the top of the column is removed and the new key indicated in the second
column from the right is installed. The direction of offset will be pointing as indicated in the
last column to the right on Table C.

Answer the following questions
BEFORE using Table C to
determine the new timing key
part number.
Find the current key part
9. number listed at the top of
the column on Table C.
Move up or down the
column (the answer to
question 8). Do not pass
0.000 (zero).
If you pass 0.000 (zero), you will be choosing a key that does the opposite of what you want it to do.
Stop when you locate the number nearest (± 0.002 in) to the required change in push rod travel (answer
to question 5). Remain in this row. Move you finger to the right. The result is the new key part number
and direction of offset the timing key must point.
