Q & A: DIY Pop Tester Without Welding

BDCarrillo · Feb 23, 2015

Since tech articles are locked, I figured I'd open this thread up for questions/banter/troubleshooting/etc. Here's the tech article.

Here's a thread showing injector internals

No real questions just an atta boy. I have been thinking about doing this for a while but welding the jack up was always the scary part. I'm not a great welder and that's enough pressure to hurt you if it's not right.

what kinda metal shaving was it? aluminum? steel?
*** did it come from??!???

icanfixall · Feb 23, 2015

That metal shaving is from threads. Probably from the top thread of the injector. Remember that injector body is a softer material than the nuts used with the hard lines.

BDCarrillo · Feb 23, 2015

Yup, came from the threads. The top thread on that injector was slightly rolled over. I'll chase it and put it back in service.

Welding the jack-style one was a pain with stick or flux core wire. I'm still chasing pinholes on it!

Oh heck ya ;Sweet

, I need a porta power around the shop anyway. I used a harbor frieght porta power to straighten up a toyota cab once...very handy. Looks like a cheap handful of parts to get it done too. Thanks for sharing.

question, you drained the hyd fluid and filled it with WMO, correct?

porta powers rock!

You must be registered for see images attach

BDCarrillo · Feb 24, 2015

Yup, old stuff was drained out and I pumped a fair amount of WMO through to wash out any remnants.

IDIoit · Feb 24, 2015

ill buy another porta power. lol
did you happen to grab the codes off the injectors that i sent ya?
just curious

BDCarrillo · Feb 24, 2015

They were all Italian B-codes, made in 1984, rebuilt back in 99 (and now 2015).
