Injectors misbehaving but trying to understand the numbers

[Paul-R]

Just in case you were wondering, in the end I didn't need to remove the injector. The problem turned out to be petrol in the diesel fuel. So, problem swerved.

Not so bad unfortunately mine was stuck closed but after a good beating with a slide hammer it decided to stick open.

Darren,

You will get it done. Sometimes a stop and a think about it, do another job helps clears the mind and a solution becomes apparent.

Excuse the pun but bash on and all will come good in the end.

Hi Kenny thanks for the moral support. I will get there in the end but will my mind be still in tact perhaps . She'll be a good yolk once have her going right.

[Paul-R]

Yolk? Yellow? Runny or hard boiled?

[darbuck]

Runny of course although I think we might be confusing it with Another yellow food that leaves a bitter taste

[darbuck]

Unfortunately I just can't get the injector out. I will have to call the cavalry and hope it will come out for them. I think the 8 ton was too weak. I spoke to a chap yesterday he said he knew a fella who tried to pull with block and tackle ended up damaging the roof he had it fixed to in the words of Fr Jack, gobshite

[Paul-R]

Well I did say...

[darbuck]

You did yes, it was worth a shot.I have achieved a lot over the years by experimenting and by letting others know it won't work helps them to move to alternative solutions.

Just a quick update I borrowed a 50 tonne puller from a friend and it didn't pull it.It successfully bent a 16mm rod though. I will be calling a specialist at the end of the month who can if necessary drill it out in situ. I also pulled the passenger side drive shaft because the boot was leaking grease. Tried to separate it, no joy. It must be a gkn I tried removing the spider end doesn't separate either. Ended up stretching a boot on to it. First time it actually worked for me normally rip them.

[darbuck]

I rang a guy today and he quoted between €200 and €500 to remove the injector. He said most probably 500 difficult injectors to remove. Ain't paying that i am going to pull the engine and try the 50 tonne again if that doesn't work I'll pull the head and get my mate to mill it out . I m going all in now

[darbuck]

Hi lads, I pulled the engine out to get a better pull on the injector. I plan to do some other jobs such as the steering rack while I have it out. A few pics for you all. I need to make the puller stronger so I am going to get some of the fabricators in work to weld it up as strong as possible.

[KennyW]

Darren,
Keep it up and you'll get there.

Watching with interest.

Kenny

[darbuck]

I'll be putting the 50 tonne in it tonight have a beast of a rig set up ready to go

Looking forward to the next instalment.
