Opening Pressure Adjustment

To adjust opening pressure, change shim thickness. Thicker shims will increase opening pressure; thinner shims will decrease it. Shims are available in thicknesses from .040-.077" (1.00-1.95 mm) in increments of .002" (.05 mm). A .002" (.05 mm) shim will increase opening pressure by approximately 71 psi (5 kg/cm2 ). See Figure .

Leak Test nozzle dry. Pump pressure up to 1560 psi (110 kg/cm2 ). Hold pressure for 10 seconds. There must be no fuel drip from injector nozzle, though a moist nozzle is acceptable.
