Well, I started at 9:30 AM and had to quit at 6pm my lower back felt like it was on fire...couldn't bend over that radiator anymore (PAIN)
New injectors, and Pensacola IP installed w/ new return-line kit
I wasted one hour trying to get a little copper washer out of #8 injection hole. I burned up 1 hour+ fighting to get those damn rock hard Olives out of the hard supply and return lines. (3-total).
Making up and installing new return-line caps, hose and o-rings took more time.
Moving items from the old IP over to the new IP also takes time...and of course I'm nuts for making sure EVERYTHING is clean!
Sraying BP-Blaster for several days made my 21 year old injectors come out like butter...
All the copper washers were stuck to the old injectors except for #8.
Advice to others about to install a IP with the Spider lines attached...UNLESS you have the proper wrench tighten the bottom-4, the rest can stay loose.
I tightened the new IP about .030 towards the passanger side.
Tomorrow-Sunday I'll give a look see at my work...then I'll leave 4 easy to get to injector lines cracked and try to fire the engine.
I will plug in the block heater a few hours prior to cranking to help it spin over faster.
I hope the starting procedure goes well...AND...this Pensacola IP and Insectors don't give me any drama.
Old IP and new side by side.
New lines moved over to the new IP...
Mel, nice briefly chatting with you...unless something happens next Sunday, I'll be there.
