NOTE
Injector synchronization is setting of all injector racks to a reference position so each injector gives
same amount of fuel to each cylinder. This is accomplished by setting each injector rack to same posi-
tion while control linkage is in a fixed position.
Synchronizing injectors is accomplished by placing a Sync Gage Block between injector rack head pin
and injector body of no. 1 injector.
There is no adjustment screw for no. 1 injector since it is the reference point for all other injectors.
Therefore, no synchronizing adjustment is made for no. 1 injector.
Always synchronize an injector after it has been removed and reused or replaced. If no. 1 injector has
been removed and reused or replaced, synchronization of ALL injectors must be checked/adjusted.
