turbo and injectors install - Page 2

kjpcummins · 11-04-2009, 01:24 PM

Theres a few things i always do on injectors. Remove the rear bracket for pulling the engine and put it in the glove box where it belongs. I keep the valve cover on so i can lean on it and get to #5 and #6 easier. Take the lines off in two sets of three(19mm or 3/4inch). You will have to take line hold down on 5,6 off and 1 they are 8mm. 1,2,4 go together and 3,5,6 go together. Then pull the valve cover(10mm) take all 6 injector hold downs off(8mm) and pop the connector tubes part way out. Then pull the injectors using the valve cover bolt. Make sure to get the washer out. Then put it all back together. When i put them back it i put the hold downs on but dont tighten them push the tubes in and screw the lines on the tubes and vp44. Tighten the tubes then vp44 and then injector hold downs. Leave 3,4 cracked and crank over till fuel comes out. Tighten them up and start it up.

I usually do a injector swap in 30min.

how do you go about torqueing the injector line ends to the proper torque?? Can't get a socket on there....

i just tighten them down tight. you can get a crow foot wrench for a torque wrench if you wanted to torque to specs

The way i take it, by looking at stevewes2004's write-up a and pictures....you cannot see the connector/crossover tubes even with the valve cover....????

They are inside the head, only time you will see them is when you pop them out a little to remove an injecter, also check the o-rings on the connector tubes for damage or wear as they will not seal right and you will have starting issues if they are.

I have done about 8 to 10 second gen injector swaps and it gets easier every time, just take it slow, be meticulous and watch the the injector tips. You will be fine.

yup, just take your time and like razocow said, be meticulous. the last set i installed, the copper washer on the rear injector fell off when i was installing it. when i went to tighten the cap, it tightened........but i noticed the gap between it and the head was a lot smaller than the others. i was suspicious so i took the injector back out finding out that the washer fell off and was laying beside one of my valve springs

bahdiesel2001 · 11-04-2009, 03:14 PM

so it wouldnt be any differnent installing 240s or 200s than stock ones and would it be different install a 66/71/14? you guys think i can do it if i take it slow?

And nope install for all injectors is the same.
