Get the chip in and have some fun

[Matt P]

Unfortunately I still havent got the chip back from being reburned so now I just have to wait to get that back before I can really start having fun! Hopefully I get it back soon

So heres the install pictures for you guys

Heres some of the rebuilt injectors



Heres with all the injectors seated in the engine but no wiring hooked up and no glow plugs in yet



Heres all the oil deflectors and retaining bolts ready to go back on


Here it is with all the oil galley plugs reinstalled as well as the oil deflectors and retaining bolts. Once I had those in I cranked the engine a few times to purge all the oil and fuel out of the cylinders through the glow plug holes



Here are 6 of the new glow plugs ready to go in, the other two were already installed at the point I took the pic


Here it is with the UCVHs all installed and hooked up to the injectors and glow plugs and the valve cover gasket all hooked up




After this I started the truck up to make sure everything was alright before reinstalling the valve covers. It took about 25 minutes of cranking then stopping then cranking again before she finally fired up, there was a lot of air in the system and a good deal of white smoke puffed out as expected.

Then I reinstalled the valve covers



Then I hooked everything else up and then done! After that though I drove for about 50 miles to work all the air out of the system

I think you need to take a drive down to get your chip so you can get it in

haha no kidding I would, but that would be a lot of fuel money to drive from Indiana to texas. lol

[ford_trck]

SO what it's just money you'll make more

[Matt P]

Oh and I just want to give a big thanks to Jim (DZL_JIM) at DIY injectors for getting my injectors rebuilt and back to me very fast. He does great work and honestly it feels like I am driving a whole new truck even with out the chip. The truck feels like new, thanks again Jim, If anyone is thinking about doing injectors talk to Jim Rose

I noticed this also. Its nice so we can all share info on the mods and everything. Maybe we will all meet up sometime, but it looks like we are all from different ends of the country... Ohio, Illinois, Texas, and Washington.

Thanks man, its really a lot easier than you would think only took 2 and a half hours to get everything back together. And yeah if you have any questions I will be happy to answer any of them. I asked a million questions when I first went about doing my injectors so I will be happy to answer as many questions as you or anyone else has. Thats one of the reasons I started this thread
