Keith Browning Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Boy, you really run the risk of exposing the combustion chambers to a lot of contamination by doing that in chassis. Replacing those sleeves not only adds coolant to what ever fuel and oil that drained out when the injectors are removed but debris from removing and installing the sleeves too. You create shavings with the removal tool and cleaning the cylinder head and preparing it for new sleeves makes a mess! You also want to avoid contaminating the fuel and oil rails and might want to flush them out. Can't do that in chassis. You are a braver man than me if you attempt it... not saying it can't be done but too risky for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
