CIS Sensor Plate Hight Adjustment
 

I finally found the CIS sensor plate hight adjustment instructions Larry Fletcher from CIS Flowtech emailed to me in PDF format 5 years ago.

I exported the 3 pages as jpegs so I can post them here.
Hopefully this will be of some help to people with CIS.

thanks. always looking for more info.
been thru this already.
the shop manual has some info on this too
both have you run the pumps to build pressure then turn off. my plate was fine with pumps off, but with the pumps on, it was slightly hi.
i sent it to larry when he did my FD.

Excellent stuff, Jim! Thanks. I may end up doing this someday, since I suspect mine is not set up correctly.
My only "unknown" is what the heck is a microencapsulated screw?

My friend Google supplied this in about 10 seconds:

The "micro-encapsulated screws" are factory bolts that have on them, a Loctite type of chemical (usually blue) that prevents bolts from getting loose in high vibration and shock applications. Why this instead of say a lock-washer? Because there is a greater surface area of resistance with the chemical than a lock-washer.

The micro-encapsulation really just means that little tiny droplets of the "Loctite" type chemical is applied to the bolt. When the bolt is threaded into its respective nut or piece, the little droplets burst and chemically attach to the bolt's threads and to the respective attached piece. It is my understanding that this actually occurs at the microscopic grain level of the metals.

I have seen them used in window regulators and bolts mounting brake calipers. Non-wet applications: no oil, fuel or coolant.

The idea is once used, they should be replaced. I have found that using them again with a small dab of Locktite seems to rejuvenate the "micro-encapsulated" chemical.

I can't wait to use that one... Did you micro-encapsulate those fasteners ?
Thanks for sharing Jim
