Hey
My first post!!
Working on solving my repeated leaking injector seal problem, and planning to install new thread inserts after one of the injectors blew out. Depending upon whether there is sufficient material to work with, I'll install either a 6mm internal / 10mm external or 8mm internal / 12mm external self-cutting solid steel insert with 2mm thick walls.
So, I know what to do, but before I start, I want to get some advice on removing the rocker cover? Has anyone done this before? Should I remove the air intake box or leave it? What about the wiring for glow plugs and injectors - it is a plastic shroud type thing but I'm not sure where it is connected to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
