b. Place a few drops of cutting oil on the tool.
Then, using a socket and a speed handle,
remove the excess stock so that the lower end
of the injector tube is from flush to .005 " below
the finished surface of the cylinder head.
3. Ream the bevel seat in the injector tube:
The tapered lower end of the injector tube must provide
a smooth and true seat for the lower end of the injector
nut to effectively seal the cylinder pressures and
properly position the injector tip in the combustion
chamber. Therefore, to determine the amount of stock
that must be reamed from the bevel seat of the tube,
refer to Fig. 6.
Install gage J 25521 in the injector tube. Zero the sled
gage dial indicator J 22273 to the fire deck. Gage J
25521 should be flush to .014 " with the fire deck of the
