Visual inspection After washing, check the injection nozz(es against the fo(lowing : 1) Needfe valves. Check the valve seats. guide shafts and injection shaft for damage. ; 2) Nozzle body. Check the valve seats for carbon deposit and damage. Aiso check the injection orifices fbr uneven wear. Replace both of the parts by using an assembly even if either of the needfe valve or the nozzle body is found to be defective. Sliding test A sliding test shou(d be made on the entire injection nozzles often visual inspection. Hold the nozzle body vertically and pull the needle valve upward about 1/3 of its entire length and release it and see if it lowers onto its seat by its own weight. If lowering of the needle valve is unsmooth. check for presence of foreign matter and repeat the test. If the trouble persists. replace the entire nozzle assembly with a new one.
