Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for an injector arrangement for an internal combustion engine. In one example, an injector arrangement may include an actuator positioned between a fuel injector and a cylinder head, with the actuator configured to adjust a position of the fuel injector relative to the cylinder head in order to adjust a protrusion amount of a fuel nozzle tip within a combustion chamber.
