Condition/Concern: Some service procedures, service bulletins, or PIs may advise to decarbon the engine with GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner to remove valve deposits but the label that is on the back of the bottle does not include any instructions that explain how to use the cleaner. Recommendation/Instructions: If a service procedure, service bulletin, or PI does not include decarboning instructions and the GM Vehicle Care 3 Step Induction Cleaning Kit (E-957-001) is not available, the guidelines below supplement the label and explain how the cleaner can be used to clean the intake valves: Important: Extreme care must be taken not to hydrolock the engine when inducing the cleaner. If too much cleaner is induced at too low of a RPM, or if you force the engine to stall by inducing too much cleaner at once, the engine may hydrolock and bend a connecting rod(s). 1. In a well-ventillated area with the engine at operating temperature, slowly/carefully induce a bottle of GM Upper Engine and Fuel Injection Cleaner into the engine with RPM off of idle enough to prevent it from stalling (typically around 2,000 RPM or so).

La Vergne, TN 37086 Tel 615-793-5573 or (866) 595-8724/ Fax 615-793-5572 Email: [email protected] Tips to help remove and install Power Stroke injectors. Removal: After removing the valve covers and the valve cover gaskets, but before removing any injectors, drain the oil rails by removing the drain plugs inside the valve cover. On 94-97 trucks theyʼre just under where the electrical connectors are on the gasket. These plugs are very tight; give them a sharp blow with a hammer and punch to help break them loose, then use a 1/8" Allen wrench. The oil will drain out into the valve train area and from there into the crankcase. Donʼt drop the plugs down the push rod holes! Also remove one of the plugs on top of each oil rail, (beside where the lines from the High Pressure Oil Pump enter) for a vent to allow air to enter so the oil can drain. The plugs are 5/8”. Inspect the plug O-rings and replace if necessary. If the plugs under the covers leak, it will cause a substantial loss of performance. When removing the injectors, oil and fuel from the passages in the cylinder head drains down through the injector bore into the cylinders. If not removed, this can hydro-lock the engine when cranking. There is a ~40cc dish in the center of each piston. Fluid accumulates in it, as well as in the corner on the outside of the piston between the piston top and the cylinder wall, due to the 45* slope of the cylinder bank.

  • Nos Roots-Type Nitrous Systems Supercharger Series
    NOS ROOTS-TYPE NITROUS SYSTEMS SUPERCHARGER SERIES P/N 13350NOS & 02520NOS INSTRUCTION P/N A5118-SNOS APPLICATIONS: These kits are designed to work on highly modified domestic V-8 engines using 671 and 871 roots-type superchargers, with mechanical fuel injection or carburetion. PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL: These kits come with jetting that allows power gain to be easily adjusted to 225-250 HP. Typical power gains for the roots-type supercharger systems are as follows: Nitrous/Fuel Power Gain (BHP) Jetting 16/20* 80 20/24* 120 26/29 175 32/36* 200 36/38* 200+ *Not supplied with kits. At the 200+ horsepower level, the Cheater nitrous solenoid is flowing at maximum capability. Increasing jetting sizes beyond this point will probably not result in any performance increase. If performance greater than 200+ horsepower is desired, it is recommended that the roots-type supercharger plate system be upgraded with a Pro Shot nitrous solenoid. This will increase maximum power capability to 325+. TUNING SUGGESTIONS: The tuning combinations listed on the next page are for engines using a moderate amount of supercharger boost (5-10 psi). If attempting to use one of these systems with elevated boost, extreme care should be taken in arriving at proper ignition timing setting. Ignition timing will vary with engine combination, but you can expect at least 4°-8° less than the value recommended in these tables. When using kit P/N 02520NOS at higher power levels, gasoline of at least 116 octane is required. Suggested Tuning Combinations for NOS Roots-Type Super

  • FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM for CI ENGINES the Function of a Fuel
    FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FOR CI ENGINES The function of a fuel injection system is to meter the appropriate quantity of fuel for the given engine speed and load to each cylinder, each cycle, and inject that fuel at the appropriate time in the cycle at the desired rate with the spray configuration required for the particular combustion chamber employed. It is important that injection begin and end cleanly, and avoid any secondary injections. To accomplish this function, fuel is usually drawn from the fuel tank by a supply pump, and forced through a filter to the injection pump. The injection pump sends fuel under pressure to the nozzle pipes which carry fuel to the injector nozzles located in each cylinder head. Excess fuel goes back to the fuel tank. CI engines are operated unthrottled, with engine speed and power controlled by the amount of fuel injected during each cycle. This allows for high volumetric efficiency at all speeds, with the intake system designed for very little flow restriction of the incoming air. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN INJECTION SYSTEM For a proper running and good performance of the engine, the following requirements must be met by the injection system: • Accurate metering of the fuel injected per cycle. Metering errors may cause drastic variation from the desired output. The quantity of the fuel metered should vary to meet changing speed and load requirements of the engine. • Correct timing of the injection of the fuel in the cycle so that maximum power is obtained. • Proper control of rate of injection so that the desired heat-release pattern is achieved during combustion.

  • AP-42, Vol. I, 3.3: Gasoline and Diesel Industrial Engines
    3.3 Gasoline And Diesel Industrial Engines 3.3.1 General The engine category addressed by this section covers a wide variety of industrial applications of both gasoline and diesel internal combustion (IC) engines such as aerial lifts, fork lifts, mobile refrigeration units, generators, pumps, industrial sweepers/scrubbers, material handling equipment (such as conveyors), and portable well-drilling equipment. The three primary fuels for reciprocating IC engines are gasoline, diesel fuel oil (No.2), and natural gas. Gasoline is used primarily for mobile and portable engines. Diesel fuel oil is the most versatile fuel and is used in IC engines of all sizes. The rated power of these engines covers a rather substantial range, up to 250 horsepower (hp) for gasoline engines and up to 600 hp for diesel engines. (Diesel engines greater than 600 hp are covered in Section 3.4, "Large Stationary Diesel And All Stationary Dual-fuel Engines".) Understandably, substantial differences in engine duty cycles exist. It was necessary, therefore, to make reasonable assumptions concerning usage in order to formulate some of the emission factors. 3.3.2 Process Description All reciprocating IC engines operate by the same basic process. A combustible mixture is first compressed in a small volume between the head of a piston and its surrounding cylinder. The mixture is then ignited, and the resulting high-pressure products of combustion push the piston through the cylinder. This movement is converted from linear to rotary motion by a crankshaft. The piston returns, pushing out exhaust gases, and the cycle is repeated. There are 2 methods used for stationary reciprocating IC engines: compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition (SI).

A possible way to reduce the flue gas temperature is the injection of water into the flue gas flow. Injected water additionally moistens the flue gas and increases its level of humidity. Therefore, more favorable conditions are created for condensation and Citation: Poškas, R.; Sirvydas, A.; heat transfer.
