How to set the injector cam? (Disco ll 2004) Desperate for some advice!

Hi all,

I have recently had a new engine fitted but the old injectors were put back. I suspect that they may not have been fitted properly in terms of the setting of the adjuster screw. Apparently each cylinder is adjusted with he cam at the top and the adjuster screw is backed off half a turn. The mechanic who fitted them says he backed them off 1 or 1.5 turns. Does anyone know what the correct procedure is and also if they have been adjusted wrong will this cause increased diesel knock / pinking especially when cold.

Is it safe to drive with poorly adjusted injectors?

Hope someone can help - this is driving me mad!

Thanks in advace..

should be back one turn according to RAVE

Many thanks... any idea what would happen if they were backed off 1.5 turns? I am guessing it would cause a bit of clatter and maybe inaccurate fueling?

Is it likely to have caused any damage to the engine?

I will have a go at re-setting them tomorrow when the 36 mm spanner arrives to remove the fan. Is it correct to adjust each one with the cam at the top of its travel - ie the cam lobe at 12 o'clock?

Full lift on the injector your setting then srew it all the way in then a full turn out.
