Time lapse - How I deal with 4 leaking diesel injector seats
Channel: Let's fix it
Date: 2024-03-26

A long day at the workshop. We (I) dealt with 4 leaking injector seats, which lead to the infamous mess on top of the injectors. All 4 injectors came out relatively easily, however we did run into an injector, which had its  bolt frozen (on cylinder 3). It did feel like the threads were stuck, and the head was going to snap off. We managed to use and impact chisel to shock the bolt and then use a low strength, high speed impact driver on the bolt to free the threads up and avoid having to drill out the bolt! 

The cleanup and re-assembly of the engine took approx 4 hours non stop.
