    Update 10/11/2020 with help from Tracer, we were able to double check and readjust the injector rocker heights. Most were within a 1/2 turn of the pushrod. Next thing we tackled was the muffler. Glad I have a spare tire crane. We got that installed with minimal issues. Installed the valve...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Perfect. I have that TM. I read it and see that its a hand pump that threads into the side of the fuel filter housing and sucks fuel up from the tank into the filter. Since I did not disconnect anything south of that, it’s primed up to that point as far as the TM goes.

    If I didn’t mess with them, do they still need adjusting? I only unbolted them from the heads. Put each one back in exactly the same position.

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    Update 9/20/2020 adjusted the exhaust valves as well as the fuel injectors. I didn’t have the proper tool J34610, shown below, but used dial calipers instead. The TM says the tool is 1.466” but looking up the tool part number on the internet says it’s 1.458”. Read the TM, looked at motor, read...
