Abstract
A fuel injector assembly has a control valve body and a plurality of end caps. End cap locating holes are formed into a mating surface of each end cap, and control valve body locating holes are formed into each mating surface of the control valve body. Locating pins inserted into the end cap and control valve body locating holes each have a fixed portion that affixes the locating pins to either the control valve body or the end cap. In the event of failure of a locating pin between the fixed portion and a free portion of the pins, the free portion maintains alignment of the control valve body locating holes with the end cap locating holes.
