I just remember how I do 61x engines thru the glow plug hole. I remove the entire injector line assembly and keep the ports on the ip covered with a rag to keep fuel from shooting way up while cranking.

You need a 27mm deepsocket and it has to be really deep, the ones at autozoo will not do the trick. Kobalt from lowes did. I evenetually bought the hazet proper tool for the job. You ream anytime you take the gp out. I like using the injector holes as it requires less work IMO. The heat shields can be problematic to get out if they are stuck but usually turning over the engine will pop them out, watch it as sometimes they have quite the velocity.

Engine should be warm and you should give it a full 8 cycles.

I disagree with the statement about the quantity of fuel that comes out. It is certainly enough to spray high. Whatever happens make sure you dont get subcutaneous injection of diesel or you will have to have said appendage removed!!!!!

Thanks guys. Good to know.

Anything else you can think of that I need to know? I think I bought the spacers, shields, whatever they are called that one puts in behind the injectors so would replace them too I guess. Any likelyhood that I will have trouble getting the injectors out? I seem to recall people talking about carbon etc. Or am I confusing that with the glowplugs? When does one use the reamer doodad? Does my engine have the removable pre-combustion chambers or whatevers behind the injectors (sorry but I am not sure that is what they are called). Do I recall someone talking about slidehammers to remove? Why would one remove them??

Lots of questions and very little knowledge except for what I hear on here as this is my one and only diesel and I do not have any local friends who have done this sort of thing.

Randy,

Very little diesel fuel will dribble out of the injector lines when cranking the engine with the fuel rack at the idle position. The injector is required at the end of that fuel line to build the pressure up for a quick high pressure spray.

And if you put a mityvac on the shutoff solenoid or hold down the stop lever, there should be no fuel dripping.
