That sounds like something that would bond them together permanently. Hopefully Smokem will chime back in on this. I think to do my compression check i'll replace the seals for the injectors and then see how she does from there, obviously I'm loosing compression from there so the leak-down test will be more accurate.

 

If you are going to disassemble them to seal the sleeve nuts, you might as well have the opening pressures reset, I use Caterpillar sealant.

 

where is a good place to get the install kits? What is typically included in the kit?

you mean on the threads from the body to the lines??

 

We are talking about between the retaining nut for the injector and the injector.

And Smokem, what am i lookin at cost wise to have the pressures reset. Am I better off mailing them out to a dependable person or is it easy enough the maybe have one of these Joe's around here do it?

 

send them out to someone who we all know, knows what they are doing..... just my opinion

 

While I'm doing the injectors I'm going to go ahead and put 1/2" fuel lines on this thing, is 1, 10 micron in line filter good enough for my truck? Where are u guys getting your filter heads from? I can get one for a transfer pump locally from TSC but the inlets are 1". Or should I keep the stock one on too?

 

I use the anerobic sealant on the sleeve nut that holds the nozzle to the body, often this area will leak fuel which is often taken as a leaking return. This has solved 90% of all leaking issues commonly found in the 12v side of things.

 

Smokem, I want to pull the injectors and get them all tested. What would I be lookin at for cost to have these cleaned up and tested? From what I understand with performance injectors they smooth out the idle and run a lot better and improve mileage. Is there some work I could get done to these to accomplish basically the same thing without having as high of a cost as new injectors?

 

What do you have now? What are you looking for?

 

When the truck gets put back together,

hx35
4" exhaust
M&H fuel pin
3200 gov spring
BHAF

The truck is an auto, going to put in a tqconverter and shift kit.

Goal with the truck is to get best balance between mileage and power and keeping the motor as dependable as possible. I will pull on occasion and I do have a heavy foot sometimes and like to tease people a lot, so I don't need a race car but still want it to have the git-up-and-go.
