5.
Remove fuel pressure gage (Figure 9, Item 31) from connection at injector (Figure 9, Item 33) and fuel inlet
manifold (Figure 9, Item 32).
CAUTION
Do not bend fabricated fuel tube assemblies and do not exceed specified torque on fuel
tube nuts. Excessive tightening will twist or fracture flared end of fabricated fuel tube
assembly and result in leaks.
6.
Install fuel inlet tube assembly (Figure 9, Item 30) on injector (Figure 9, Item 33) and fuel inlet manifold
(Figure 9, Item 32). Using fuel nut wrench, torque fuel tube nuts to 130–160 lb-in (14.7–18.1 N·m).
Crankcase Pressure
1.
Remove one tube connector (Figure 11, Item 36) from u-tube manometer (Figure 11, Item 40) by rotating
counterclockwise.
2.
Turn other tube connector (Figure 11, Item 35) clockwise until fully engaged and then back out one full turn.
3.
Add five drops of food coloring to one pint of distilled water and mix.
4.
Add colored solution (Figure 11, Item 39) to u-tube manometer (Figure 11, Item 40) until liquid level is
opposite zero mark on scale with u-tube manometer vertical.
NOTE
Eliminate air bubbles in u-tube manometer by tilting and gently tapping.
5.
Install tube connector (Figure 11, Item 36) until fully engaged and then back out one full turn.
NOTE
Torque wrench adapter must not extend into oil in oil pan.
6.
Remove oil level gage, oil level gage tube, and adapter from oil pan (WP 0014) , (WP 0015), or (WP 0016).
Install coupling half (Figure 11, Item 37) in oil pan.
7.
Connect nonmetallic tubing (Figure 11, Item 38) to coupling half (Figure 11, Item 37) and tube connector
(Figure 11, Item 36). Mount u-tube manometer in vertical position. Close manometer u-tube connector
