how to do injectors..

[C-Power]

ive never done them on a PSD....all the others but a stroker....well i found some and now i need to know how to do the swap....i know i take off the valve cover and all that but do i have to take my turbo off??? it doesnt look like it but i didnt know...ummm take my old injectors out suck the oil off the pistons and put my stage I's in then torque them down and put the valve cover back on...sound right??? does any one know what they should be torqued to?? also should i change my valve cover gasket????

I don't think you have to take off the turbo. Just the intake tubes and valve covers. Gaskets might not be a bad idea. I'm not sure on the torque spec.

what injectors did u get?

i got some hypermax's that the guy said had the enternals done not the nozzles....

I wouldn't just "suck" the excess oil/fuel outa the cylinders. You take a good chance at hydrolockin, and crackin a head. When i did mine i pulled the glow plugs out, put the new injectors in, tighten them down put the valve covers on (with 2 or 4 bolts). Then turned the motor over. don't worry it wont start. Do that a couple of times then put the glow plugs back in. There's a aritical about it some where around here. I'll try to find it for ya

Here, Try this! OBS Injector R&R

[95dieselsmoke]

follow that injector r&r and you will be good. valve cover gasket are reusable BTW. and dont be scared, dive in. I never done them before either and i had mine in and out in no time. pretty straight forward once you get into it

Don't just torque them, they need to be fully seated first!!! Take a deadblow hammer and HIT them in until they change tone. Don't be afraid as they are very durable, Jon at Swamps even did a demostration with an injector solenoid and a small sledgehammer to show how tough the solenoids are.

Wow that must be pretty tough. I would have never thought of that and probaly would have yelled at anyone I saw doing it!
