Installing injectors

Gotta yank off the the jakes and whatnot. Couldn't give ya torque specs. Got mine installed for one hell of a deal from a buddy of mine. Your local cat or any cat shop for that matter can probably give you a pretty detailed printout on it. Good luck!

 

Like stated....jakes and rockers. Make sure to drain fuel from the head before you pull the first injector. A long screwdriver and rag will clean where the orings sat in the head. Lube new with engine oil. Torque to 40 ft/lbs. They say use new bolts, but I've done dozens with the old bolts with no problems.

 

80 ft/lbs for the Jake/rocker bolts and nuts.

 

I understand some CAT need reprogramming to new injector specs. Don't know the real deal though.

I got Cummins access via https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html. Check and see if CAT offers something similar.

 

Yes I forgot that...need to write down each new injector trim code and load in ECM.

 

Pro Link will work just fine changing trim codes.

 

Yes while you're there change them. Drain coolant out. I made my tool because Cats was too expensive. A piece of 1" threaded rod makes a great one. Make sure you get the updated cups. Most dealers should have the new style though. Make sure to clean the bores on the head too.
