6. Hydraulic Cylinder Lock
A. If an injector has been replaced, evacuate any fluids from the cylinder and attempt to start the engine. Fuel will flow from the cylinder head into the cylinders when a unit injector is removed.
B. If the engine will not start, check for fluid in the cylinders (hydraulic cylinder lock) by removing the individual unit injectors. Check for damaged seals. Determine the type of fluid that locked up the cylinder.
C. If there was a coolant leak, determine the cause of the leak. Check the exhaust (NRS) cooler for leaks. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Exhaust Cooler (NRS) - Test".
D. If there was excessive fuel in the cylinder, replace the seals and reinstall the injector. Drain any excess fuel from the cylinder head.
E. If a mechanical problem is suspected, disassemble the engine. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual. Inspect the internal components for the following conditions:
Seizure
Broken components
Bent components
Hydraulic cylinder lock
Result The engine has a hydraulic cylinder lock.
Repair: Make the necessary repairs.
Result The engine does not have a hydraulic cylinder lock.
