Stuck Injector advice.

Postby Spike2450 » Mon Nov 23, 2015 9:46 pm

Hi, purchased a year 2000, non turbo banana engine with Bosch 0460414145 pump, to put into a boat.

Stenadyne Injectors are all stuck in and no movement, i have searched.
My choices, what would you do.

Get a local company to come and remove them, what would they charge ?

Remove the head and soak in plusgas from the cylinder side, can i also then use heat ?

As they are well stuck will starting with a loose retaining bolt shift them ?

They seem to be orange spot injectors, i haven't got a number yet to confirm it, but if they are the wrong injectors for this pump then i could give the injectors a lot more force to get them out.

Any help is apprecated.

Can you run it, or crank it over briskly with the retaining bolts backed off a couple of turns - the diesel compression should shift them?

Why do they need to come out anyway?

I will try and see if the compression will shift them, i wanted to get the heard serviced by a local engineering company, mainly an over tbe winter thing and wanting the reliablitly for future use.

Once it's in the boat it will be a lot harder than sat on my garage floor.

Well, if it's going to an engineering company, then surely they have all the nessessary know how and facilities at their disposal :idea: (and should include the injector removal as part of the deal :?: )

It may be a little crude but I have soaked the area in petrol to break down the carbon deposits. Using a brush and little efforts to remove and apply more petrol. It's worked for me everytime but is a lengthy process. You need patience. There is a place in Willenhall that removes glow plugs and injectors if they are not moving called T & M garages. I did have a van come in that someone had tried to drill out the glow plugs??!? It was a right mess, I got a new cylinder head from http://www.lyymengineparts.co.uk. I'm not sure whether they do injectors or not, might be worth a try.

It's an out of body engine?
As in engine on the floor and no rusty hulk around it?

If thats the case I'd split the nannas to get better access and try a large adjustable spanner or pipe grips to "wiggle" and a pry bar or long robust
screwdriver to apply slight upward force on the U of the injector.





Wiggle and lift for the first part and then once the injector is moving you can twist and pull it up by hand.
