SUBJECT:
DIESEL ENGINE DYNAMIC TIMING
MODELS AFFECTED:
ALL EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINES
Kent-Moore Tool Company sells a dynamic timing meter for diesel engines that have dual pick-ups. One pick-up measures the pressure impulse in the
injection pipe and the other pick-up measures luminosity. Luminosity is measured by screwing a probe into the glow plug hole.
The timing specifications for Buick produced diesel engines are based upon using the luminosity pick-ups that are available in such meters as Snap-On,
Kent-Moore, Owatonna and Sun. Any other type of device that measures something other than luminosity will not correlate with the specifications and
should not be used.
