0R-8867 Fuel Injector Gp    The information below explains the solution to each one of the issues that was occurring with the Mechanical Unit Injectors (MUI).The remanufactured Mechanical Unit Injectors (MUI) are now shipped with the rack in the fuel OFF position in order to eliminate the need to move the fuel rack before installation into the cylinder head. The fuel rack on the Mechanical Unit Injectors (MUI) should not be moved without compressing the tappet spring.The issue of the dragging of the fuel rack was caused by the process of remanufacturing the cones for the fuel injectors. The remanufactured cones were causing the rack to drag. The cones are now remanufactured in order to eliminate the fuel rack from dragging.
Illustration 1 g01503560
The cones that are discolored are circled. (1) Area of discolorationThe change in the process of remanufacturing the cones for the injectors has caused the cones to have some discoloration on the cone. The change in the appearance of the remanufactured cones is normal. The discoloration will not affect the performance of the fuel injectors. Illustration 1 shows the area of discoloration (1) on the injector cones.
