I was able to move the fork around correctly and got the slave cylinder back on and bled. Thanks for the information on the spacing. I will watch the alignment of the fork better next time.

That's what I was afraid of. I just installed the engine and I must have somehow messed up the alignment of the clutch fork on the bearing.

I have an LT77 gearbox with the slave cylinder removed. With the slack taken out by pressing in on the push rod how far should the push rod stick out past the housing? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I had the injection pump rebuilt recently due to valves leaking internally. Since then the vehicle has run well and the timing was correct. I then replaced the fuel lift pump. At the same time I had the nozzles checked and on 3 of them the side hole was totally blocked and could not be cleaned. I replaced the nozzles with ones from some rebuilt injectors and now the timing seems to be advanced too far. There is not enough movement in the pump to correct it with out opening the cover and moving the pulley a notch. The only thing that I did that would have affected the timing was lowering the opening pressure of the nozzles. So I didn't know whether to move the pulley a notch or raise the opening pressure back to where it was. I will probably raise the pressure back up and then see what the timing is like.

The previous settings must have been totally wrong on my injectors. Thanks.

Does anyone know the correct injector nozzle opening pressure for the 2.5L naturally aspirated diesel engine? I have a 1989 One Ten and recently had the Lucas CAV injectors cleaned and replaced the nozzles. The injectors were previously set around 150Ats (2200psi), but the workshop manual I have specifies 135Ats (2000psi). When I had the nozzles set down to 135Ats the timing was messed up due to the lower pressure. The manual I have covers the 2.25 and 2.5NA diesels and does not list different pressures for each. The nozzles are the same but I don't know if the pressure should be different for the 2.5NA. The vehicle previously ran very well after an injection pump rebuild with the old nozzles set at 150Ats. I live in Central America and the injector shops here do not have information on correct pressures. Thanks
