Injector swap

[PSM_Kid]

you'll need a T30 (10ft/lbs) for the oil rail. The injector hold downs are a T40 for the 03's. torque them down to 24ft/lbs.

The 03's don't have T30's on the oil rails...........

I've only done an 03 once. T25? I could've sworn they were :-( sorry OP

They are 8mm bolts that hold them down. You got yours running yet?!? I'm ready to see this.

Cant remember what size but want to say 3/4 socket to help release them.

Craftsman 18mm 12point chromie...

19mm 12pt socket. The rear ones are a little hard to pop out. Push down on the socket, then take a little screwdriver from the bottom and give it a small pry to help release the connector

Once you get the oiler out of the way its pretty straight forward. Dont forget to take out the uppipe in the back. Don't remember what size but big allan wrench. And I remember having to use a tourqx and end wrench to get the the lower tourqx bolts on the lower part of the oilers. Not quite enough room to get an endwrench down in there.

Call me crazy but I think swapping injectors in the 6.0 is easier than a 7.3...once you get down to the valve covers that is. I hate fighting with 7.3 injectors and getting them seated properly...6.0s are much easier in that aspect IMO

Thats a good point. And probably agree, but I will take the room to work on a 7.3 anyday of the week.

I have done them on a 6.4, 6.0, 7.3 and they all have there good points. 7.3 is the easiest IMO if you have the right tools to clear the oil and fuel out of the cylinders just because you have room to work and you can get to the injectors the fastest. After you do 2 jobs, it becomes easy

Ok so heres another question. I will be pulling my injectors on sunday to send them to Warrens Diesel. I know how to get them out but as for reinstallling everything, its fine reusing the dummy plugs and Stand Pipes. Just chck the o Rings and reuse them correct? Both were replaced in 2011 oct when i did head studs. Cant think of anything else I will need as for parts.
