The purpose of this report is to record the objectives and current status of the DOE funded study of the forces and friction in the Cummins L-10 valve and injector train. Also included in the report is any pertinent information that should help maintain continuity of the program. The introduction of the report discusses the general goals of the program. These goals have changed throughout the development of the program. The current list reflects the expectations of the DOE and includes the development new measurement techniques that are needed by the diesel engine industry. The goals are discussed in more detail in the remainder of the report along with the current status and action required in the near future to attain the goals. 3 refs., 3 figs.
