NOTE
The following calibration procedure applies to pre-1990 6.2L fuel
injection pumps. Refer to para. 2-34 for calibration on 1990 6.2L
and above pumps and para. 2-35 for 6.5L pumps.
a. Test Bench Requirements
The fuel injection pump requires a test bench capable of at least 2250 rpm shaft speed. The test bench
must be equipped with the following items:
(a) A zero-backlash coupling device.
(b) A digital tachometer.
(c) A variable voltage source.
(d) Test gauges:
(1) 0-160 psi (0-1103 kPa) pressure gauge calibrated in 1 psi increments to measure transfer Pump
pressure. This gauge should be located as close as possible to the pump, with an in-line shutoff
valve located at the pump.
(2) 0-30 psi (0-206.9 kPa) pressure gauge to measure housing pressure.
(3) 0-30 in. Hg (0-101.3 kPa) vacuum gauge to measure transfer pump lift. This gauge should be in
the supply line to the pump, with a shutoff valve between the gauge and the oil source.
(4) A flowmeter for measuring return oil should be used with a three-way valve to permit the
flowmeter to be in use only during the return oil check.
(5) 0°-250°F (-17.8°-121. 1°C) temperature gauge, located at the pump inlet, to monitor inlet
temperature.
(e) Calibrating nozzles and injection lines: (1) Eight 0.020-in. (0.5 mm) orifice plate nozzles set at 1700 ± 25 psi (11,721 ± 172 kPa). (2) Eight 0.093-in. (2.36 mm) inside diameter by 25-in. (63.5 cm) long injection lines. (f) Calibrating fluid conforming to SAE J967, maintaining a temperature of 110°-115°F (43°-46°C) at the pump inlet over all speed and load ranges. (g) Orifice fitting in the inlet line between the supply pump and shutoff valve, to maintain constant fluid circulation and temperature.
b. Injection Pump Information
1. Injection pump operating speed is half of engine speed.
2. Injection pump rotation is counterclockwise.
3. Injection pump is timed to the outlet port in the 10 o’clock position, when viewed from the transfer pump end.
c. Injection Pump Check (Prior to Service)
1. Before mounting the pump on the test stand, check the drive shaft for freedom of rotation in the housing. Pump should be mounted securely in the appropriate adapter, and the intermediate coupling checked for freedom of movement.
2. Connect supply and return lines securely.
3. Install high pressure injection lines. Use copper gaskets or steel washers where required. Leave fuel line connections at the pump and nozzles loose.
4. Apply 17.6 V to electric shutoff solenoid and operate pump at 2000 rpm wide-open throttle (WOT) for 10 minutes to bring to operating temperature and clear air from system.
5. Tighten all connections securely. Check connections for leaks while operating.
6. Check fuel delivery at 650 rpm (low idle). Fuel delivery should be 10-18 mm 3/stroke. If fuel delivery is not within the range specified, adjust low idle screw. Turn screw clockwise to decrease or counter- clockwise to increase fuel delivery.
7. Check housing pressure at 650 rpm, while applying 17.6 V to housing pressure cold advance solenoid. Housing pressure should be 0-1 psi (0-7 kPa).
8. Check electric shutoff solenoid for pull-in with 17.6 V maximum with throttle lever in low idle position at 400 rpm.
9. Fuel delivery measurement: (a) In order to minimize variations between readings due to residual oil in the graduates, the following timed cycle should be used: (1) Draw (2) Settle 30 seconds (3) Drain 30 seconds (4) Draw (5) Settle 30 seconds (6) Read graduates (7) Repeat cycle and average readings

(a) Mount the pump horizontally in holding fixture and remove governor cover.
(b) Hold the throttle lever in the wide-open throttle (WOT) position. Rotate pump drive shaft
counterclockwise until a click is heard as the rounded contact points on the governor arm
engage the slots in the thrust sleeve. Continue to rotate the drive shaft until the gap between
the governor arm and pump housing is minimal.
(c) Using linkage gap tool, check the clearance limits between the rear of the shutoff shaft and
the vertical tab on the linkage hook.
(d) If adjustment is required, loosen governor linkage hook adjustment screw and extend the
linkage hook to its maximum open length (throttle lever must be in WOT).
(e) Insert the appropriate step of the linkage gap tool between the vertical hook tab and the
throttle shaft, with the step facing the shaft. The tool must be held vertically and parallel
to the linkage hook tab.
(f) With the linkage hook pin seated firmly in the governor arm slot and the governor arm in
the minimal gap position (step 2.(b)), shorten the linkage hook assembly until the face of the
vertical tab is flush against the tool. Tighten adjusting screw to 12-15 lb-in. (1 N•m).
(g) Recheck linkage gap and adjust if necessary.
3. Set the throttle lever in correct low idle position prior to calibration using throttle lever gauge. The low idle screw must beat 34 ± 2 degrees as measured between vertical centerline of throttle shaft bushing bore and throttle connection stud.
4. Flush the pump with calibrating oil to remove metal chips and possible contamination.
5. Before mounting the pump on the test stand, check the drive shaft for freedom of rotation in the housing. Pump should be mounted securely in the appropriate adapter, and the intermediate coupling checked for freedom of movement.
6. Connect supply and return lines securely.
7. Install high pressure injection lines. Use copper gaskets or steel washers where required. Leave fuel line connections at the pump and nozzles loose.
8. Apply 17.6 V to electric shutoff solenoid and operate pump at 2000 rpm (WOT) for 10 minutes to bring to operating temperature and clear air from system.

11. Set return oil flow to 225-375 cc/minute at 2000 rpm (WOT).
12. Measure housing pressure: (a) Check housing pressure at 650 rpm, with throttle shaft in low idle position, pressure should be 8-12 psi (55-83 kPa). (b) Energize housing pressure cold advance solenoid with 17.6 V, housing pressure should be 0-1 psi (0-6.9 kPa).

15. Transfer pump lift should be 18 in. Hg (60.8 kPa) at 400 rpm.
16. Mechanical/Light Load Advance Setting (a) Check housing pressure at 650 rpm, with throttle shaft in low idle position, pressure should be 8-12 psi (55-83 kPa). (b) With throttle in a WOT position, rotate face cam to its maximum lift position in contact with the cam roller. (c) At 2000 rpm, adjust trimmer screw for 1.5 degrees cam advance. (d) Set throttle for 22.5 ± 1 mm 3/stroke at 1500 rpm and rotate face cam to obtain 3.5 degrees cam advance. (e) Tighten face cam screw to 28-32 lb-in. (3-4 N•m) and check face cam retention. (1) Put 0.005-in. (0.127 mm) feeler gauge between throttle shaft mylar washer and housing
(2) Put throttle shaft in idle position. Squeeze throttle shaft and face cam tightly toward each other and rotate face cam as lower roller rests approximately in middle at low idle step. Tighten screw to 30 lb-in. (3 N•m) with torx drive and remove feeler gauge.
17. Set total throttle travel, With throttle in low idle position, align zero degree mark on protractor with center of rib on rocker lever. Move throttle to WOT and adjust maximum travel screw to 80-84 degrees.
NOTE
Any changes to pump or settings after this point will require
retesting of pump, starting with step 16.
