NOTE:
Injector calibration and bar codes may be absent from the load plates on Þrst-run
production DDEC III/IV injectors 5235575, 5235580, and 5235550. The correct
calibration code for these units is "01". Load plates on current DDEC III/IV injectors
include the required calibration or bar code information.
NOTICE:
Whenever a DDEC III injector is removed from the engine, it
should be reinstalled in its original location to maintain proper
cylinder balance. If reinstalled in a different cylinder head
location, injector calibration must be rechecked with the DDR
and updated. Failure to observe these steps may result in
reduced engine performance.
NOTE:
Injector calibration and bar codes may be absent from the load plates on Þrst-run
production DDEC III/IV injectors 5235575, 5235580, and 5235550. The correct
calibration code for these units is "01''. Load plates on current DDEC III/IV injectors
include the required calibration or bar code information. See Figure 16-1.

Turning the ignition to the off position and waiting Þve seconds before starting the engine
is not required.
Perform the following steps to determine if the proper injector setting adjustment resolved the
misÞring cylinder condition:
1. Install the valve rocker cover(s); (one-piece, two piece, three piece) refer to the appropriate
service manual, engine chapter.
2. Start the engine.
3. Run the engine at 1000 rpm.
4. Listen for misÞring cylinder.
[a] If the engine is not misÞring, no further troubleshooting is required. Shut down
the engine.
[b] If the engine is misÞring, shut down the engine. Check for improper valve clearance
and injector height and damaged or worn camshaft lobes and rollers; refer to section
16.4.
Intake valve clearance and injector height are adjusted by means of an adjusting set screw and
locknut located at the valve (or injector) end of the rocker arm; see Figure 16-2.
NOTE:
On engines equipped with a Jake Brake, measure valve lash and injector height before
removing any brake housings. Only remove the brake housings necessary to provide
access for adjustment.
The injector height is adjusted using the injector timing gage J–39697 (DDEC III/IV) or
J–35637–A (DDEC II and I). On engines equipped with a Jake Brake, move the handle on the
injector height gage to the alternate position, 90 degrees to the shank. A height gage pilot hole
is provided in the fuel injector body on the machined surface contacted by the injector clamp
near the solenoid; see Figure 16-3.
NOTE:
Be sure the height gage seats on the machined surface with the tip in the pilot hole.
Foreign material in the pilot hole or on the machined surface may prevent accurate
setting of the injector height.
To determine if improper valve clearance, injector height or both are causing the cylinder to
misÞre, perform the following preliminary step 1 through step 3 and repeat step 4 through step
9 for each cylinder to determine if worn or damaged lobes or rollers are causing the engine
to misÞre:
1. Disconnect starting power for engine.
2. Remove the valve rocker cover(s); (one-piece, two piece, three piece) refer to the
appropriate service manual, engine chapter.
3. Insert a 3/4 in. drive breaker bar or ratchet into the square hole in the center of the
crankshaft pulley.
4. Bar the engine over and inspect camshaft and rollers for wear or damage. Stop engine
rotation when any one of the injector followers has just begun its downward stroke;
see Figure 16-4.
[a] If damage is found on the camshaft lobes or rollers, stop this procedure and replace
damaged components as necessary; refer to the appropriate service manual, engine
chapter. Once complete, refer to section 16.4.1.1.
[b] If no damage was found to camshaft or rollers, continue with task.
5. Using timing chart, see Figure 16-5, determine if the intake valve clearances are acceptable
(listed in Table 16-1), by inserting a feeler gage between the tip of the intake valve stem
and the button; see Figure 16-6.
[a] If the intake valve stem clearance is between 0.127 - 0.280 mm (0.005-0.011 in.),
step 6.
[b] If the intake valve stem clearance is not between 0.127 - 0.280 mm (0.005-0.011 in.),
reset the intake valve(s) to 0.203 mm (0.008 in.); refer to section 16.4.1, step 1.
6. Using timing chart, see Figure 16-5, determine if the exhaust valve clearances are
acceptable, (listed in Table 16-1) by inserting a feeler gage between the tip of the exhaust
valve stem and the button; see Figure 16-7.
[a] For exhaust valves with a machined groove between the rotator and tip, the exhaust
valve stem clearance should be between 0.584 - 0.736 mm (0.023 - 0.029 in.). If
the exhaust valve stem clearance is between 0.584 - 0.736 mm (0.023 - 0.029 in.),
proceed to step 7. For exhaust valves without a machined groove between the rotator
and tip, the exhaust valve stem clearance should be between 0.432 - 0.584 mm (0.017
- 0.023 in.). If the exhaust valve stem clearance is between 0.432 - 0.584 mm (0.017 -
0.023 in.), perform to step 7 or step 8.
[b] If the exhaust valve stem clearance is not between 0.584 - 0.736 mm (0.023 - 0.029
in.) for exhaust valves with a machined groove between the rotator and tip, reset the
valve(s) to 0.660 mm (0.026 in.); refer to step 7 or step 8.
[c] If the exhaust valve stem clearance is not between 0.432 - 0.584 mm (0.017 - 0.023
in.) for exhaust valves without a machined groove between the rotator and tip, reset
the valve(s) to 0.508 mm (0.020 in.); refer to section 16.4.1. step 2.
7. If troubleshooting a DDEC III/IV engine, place the small end of J–39697 in the hole
provided in the injector body, with the ßat of the gage toward the fuel injector plunger;
see Figure 16-8.
[a] If the tool is ßush against the follower, the injector height is acceptable; refer to step 9.
[b] If the tool is not ßush, adjust injector height; refer to section 16.4.1, step 3
8. If troubleshooting a DDEC I or II engine, place the small end of J–35637–A in the hole
provided in the injector body, with the ßat of the gage toward the fuel injector plunger;
see Figure 16-8.
[a] If the tool is ßush against the follower, the injector height is acceptable; refer to step 9.
[b] If the tool is not ßush, adjust injector height; refer to section 16.4.1, step 3.
9. Bar the engine over, clockwise, until the fuel injector for the next cylinder begins its
downward stroke; see Figure 16-4. Repeat step 5 through step 8 and repeat until all six
fuel injectors and sets of valves have been checked and reset as necessary. When all
cylinders have been checked, refer to section 16.4.1, step 4.
Perform the following steps to repair improper fuel injector height, intake valve clearance, and
exhaust valve clearance.
NOTE:
Using the steps below, it will be necessary to bar the engine over only two complete
revolutions. Three cylinders will be adjusted for valves, and three cylinders will be
adjusted for injectors on each revolution.
If required, remove Jake Brake housing necessary to provide access for repair; refer to the
appropriate service manual, engine chapter.
NOTICE:
Never set the valves and injector of the same cylinder at the
same time. Doing this will result in engine damage.
[c] Torque the locknut to 41 - 47 N·m (30 - 35 lb·ft) and remove the feeler gage. Reinsert
the feeler gage to ensure that the adjustment did not change when the locknut was
tightened. Readjust as necessary.
Perform the following steps to determine if valve clearance or injector height adjustment resolved
the misÞring cylinder condition:
1. Start the engine.
2. Run the engine at 1000 rpm.
3. Listen for misÞring cylinder.
[a] If the engine is not misÞring, shut down the engine. No further troubleshooting is
required.
[b] If the engine is misÞring, shut down the engine and check for faulty fuel injector;
refer to section 16.5.
