Estimating the term…
A fuel injector, a method of mounting a fuel injector, a combination injector and clamping, and a clamp are all provided for ensuring the fuel injector is mounted in a proper rotative position in an injector mounting bore of any one of multiple internal combustion engine platforms requiring different injector mounting positions. The injector includes a first alignment feature having a first geometry corresponding to a first engagement feature of the first engine platform and adapted to be engaged by the first engagement feature to secure the injector to the first engine platform. The fuel injector further includes a second alignment feature having a second geometry different from, and incompatible with, the first geometry and corresponding to a second engagement feature of the second engine platform thereby ensuring the fuel injector is circumferentially oriented in a correct rotative position required by a given engine platform.
In a fuel injected internal combustion engine, a method of mounting a fuel injector in a proper rotative orientation in an injector mounting bore of any one of multiple internal combustion engine platforms capable of receiving the fuel injector, the engine platforms requiring differing fuel injector orientations, the method comprising:
A fuel injector mountable in a mounting bore of a first engine platform and a mounting bore of a second engine platform of fuel injected internal combustion engines, comprising:
In combination, a fuel injector mountable in a mounting bore of a first engine platform and a mounting bore of a second engine platform of fuel injected internal combustion engines, and a fuel injector hold down clamp, comprising:
A fuel injector hold down clamp for use on a fuel injected internal combustion engine comprising:
