when i goto put my injecors back into my 2004.5 what is the sequence? do u first drop injector in and roughly point nozzle hole towards tube hole? then put tube in snugly and make sure u watch injector to see if it straightens out? then snug injector hold down? then give tube final torque? what are the torque specs or procedure for this? i dont have it in my haynes manual.

 

also under my valve cover i noticed 1 spring stuck in the hole. whats the spring for? the spring is roughly 1/2" by 2 - 3 inches long.

 

The complete injector removal and installation process and instructions are here -

thanks. heres a pic of my engine with cover off

 

thanks again. that manual is awsome djbikeman

 

No problem. From what I have read here, most guys don't remove the rail like it shows in those instructions. They just pull the connector tubes.

My injectors are going to Don in 2 weeks, so I have been doing a lot of searching and reading too.

 

yeah i was thinking that. but im sure i have to remove air horn am i right?

 

I'm pretty sure you need to remove the intake horn and grid heater to get at the connector tube running underneath it. Someone else could verify that. I have read that if you pull the intake horn/grid heater that yo ushould replace the gaskets with new ones.

 

sure thing. thanks

 

Yes, you have to remove the intake heater to get the #2 connector tube out. Normally when we replace injectors we remove the rear engine lift braket and put a washer on the stud to space for the inj. line brace.
1. I normally tighten all injectors to 42 in/lbs.
2. Install connector tubes with the ***** facing straight up, install nuts and torque to 420 in/lbs
3. tighten all injectors down to 89 in/lbs.
