“Also inspect the push rod ends and try to keep them in order. See if they roll flat.”
Last question. I see from the breakdown that the ends of the push rods are rounded but do not understand Bob's statement. i.e. “…keep them in order. See if they roll flat.”
Was not my last question. How do I highlight Bob's quote?
Bob,
Thanks for the prompt reply. My engine was made in 2002 before the change in regs and is older than yours. From the breakdown, it looks like I have to remove the entire fuel return pipe line, disconnect the high pressure pipes and remove the two flange bolts for each injector. How are the injectors sealed in the injection bush? Do I have to worry about replacing anything when I reinstall?

My injectors are the same as Grizz. Removing the injectors solves the compression problem in finding TDC. What foot pounds would you use on the #53 bolts?
Next question. There are 3 cylinder head bolts I (#53) which sit under the injectors. These bolts look to be the same as the 11 cylinder head bolts II (#54) only shorter. Is my engine the only one that has these bolts? Should they be re-torqued (#53) or left alone?
My mistake. I thought from Rich's last comment about the “compression release gimmick” that was optional. I do not want to loosen the injectors unless necessary.
I have a friend that would do it for me but that would short circuit the learning process. I purchased the dozer knowing fully that I would have to learn by doing (OJT). I have the advantage of taking my time. Now if it was rebuilding the engine, that I would have done or ask my friend for help as this would be a one time event for me.
Yes, I am talking about head torque and valve lash.
One more question and I think I have enough to do the job.
Do you recommend doing the valve lash with or without the rocker shaft installed?
Rich,
If I do one bolt at a time, does it matter which bolt I start the re-torquing?
If I activate the compression release, do I need to loosen the injectors?
