What is the ' resting ' pressure in that line between injection pulses?
Is it near the pop value of the injectors or does it pretty much go to zero between pulses ?

Army , in anticipation of continuing the TDC discussion.... since have had the head off... with regards to using the valve to show the piston movement.... how far ( with the head gasket in place) do you think the valve can be used to follow the piston movement into the bore ? As you pointed out is used for the setting of the tach sensor....

I think he used the RIV tool to "calibrate" the pulse adapter.

I haven't a clue - my gut says it wouldn't drop to zero but I have no proof of that

I know the piston crown protrudes by 1.6mm above the upper surface of the block on an OM617 (and a 603 if I remember what I read correctly). The thickness of the head gasket "saves" the piston each time it reaches TDC from smashing itself into the head... When you drop the valve on the piston crown (at TDC) it can't fall much more than 2mm <= but this is from memory so I might be a bit out. As for the length of the valve well errrr I've got one kicking about in the garage I can measure that length for you tomorrow. I wouldn't be too comfortable watching the threaded part of a valve stem disappear down a valve guide though. What's ya plan then Greg?

@libbybapa
I was wondering to what engine speed you can use your equipment. Will the strobe still strobe up to say 4000rpm without causing any damage to itself, the car, the add on bits, yourself etc etc? You see I've read and heard lots about people checking timing of the IP and modifying their IPs to do more wonderful things but I don't recall anyone making a fuss about the timing device. This does the same job of an advance retard mechanism on a petrol engine - but the springs in there must also get a bit tired after 30 years So my question is - do you think you could track the point of begin of delivery at engine speeds that are faster than idle in order to check the health of the timing device?

It does bring up an important question which I just had not asked Yet.. Are we sure that on our engines a valve dropped into the bore can be pulled out through the precombustion chamber hole ? This would change seeing it drop on through from a huge deal to just a pain in the head.

Not in one piece.

Put a nut on the valve stem to prevent it from dropping into the bore before messing with it!

Well, that is interesting.... brings up a possibility I had not considered...
Now, are you dealing from knowledge of a valve having been ' divided' inside the bore and removed...or are you just sure that given the disc size with it 90 degrees to the stem it can not come out in one piece ?

The diameter of the valves are between 33.1 and 39.9mm depending on engine type see chapter 5-280 Nice idea but if you drop a valve in a combustion chamber you either need to remove the head or get Spock to beam it out of there!

Didn't someone claim they had been able to line up the dropped valve and reinsert it from the inside....(?)... and that may have only applied to one of them closer to the exhaust (?).....

If you were to look into the archives, a few years ago I inquired about the advance mechanism. On the VW VE pumps, the timing advance curve tends to fail toward being retarded and so fuel economy and power really suffer. I have seen claims where dialing the advance curve back where it should be has given an increase of more than 40% to fuel economy. |
