General Information
Note
: Warranty repairs must be performed at a Cummins® Authorized Repair
Location to accurately calibrate, test, and repair the fuel systems on Cummins®
engines.
The injectors used on V28 engines are the PT (Type D) style injectors with and without the top
stop feature. To adjust the
injector overhead setting after installation, use a torque wrench to
apply 8 N•m [70 in-lb].
If the tappets do not have crowned rollers, apply 6 N•m [50 in-lb] preload to the injector and
adjusting screw.
Note
: The injector plunger and the barrel are machined to a very precise tolerance
and are available as a match-fit assembly only. Do not mix the plungers and the
barrels. Always replace the plunger and the barrel as a matched assembly if the
injector is rebuilt.
When removing the injectors from the engine, compare the injector assembly part number with
the appropriate Control Parts
List (CPL) assembly part number listed in the CPL manual. If the
numbers do not match, either replace the injector or rebuild it to match the assemblies required.
Preparatory Steps
WARNING
Remove
Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut on the injector.
CAUTION
Do not drop or damage the injector plunger.
Remove the two clamp capscrews and the injector hold down
clamp.
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.
Note
: If the plunger link is damaged, or the pitting or
scoring can be seen or felt, the plunger links must be
replaced.
Check the injector for carbon deposits on the injector cup and
cup retainer.
Check the injector body and cup retainer for cracks or other
damage.
Rebuild
The disassembly, inspection, repair, and calibration procedure
for the injectors are covered in the Injector Rebuild Manual
-
PT, Bulletin 3379071.
Calibrate
The injector calibration specifications and parts information are
provided in the Injector Specifications Manual, Bulletin
3379664.
Install
Install three new o-rings on each injector.
CAUTION
Make sure to place the instrument on the body of the
injector and not on the plunger or the link.
Install the hold-down clamp and the capscrews over the body
of the injector.
Note
: Top stop injectors and non-top stop injectors do
not use the same hold-down clamp.
Note
: It is very important to tighten the capscrews
alternately. If the clamp is not flat against the injector,
premature malfunction is possible.
Tighten the capscrews alternately and evenly.

Install the injector link.
Finishing Steps
WARNING
Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the
possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the
compartment before
servicing the batteries. To reduce the
possibility of arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable
first and attach the negative
(-) battery cable last.
