Detroit 60 Series Injector Failure

[@EZ804PASS]

Mechanic tells me that I have injector failure. Dumping fuel into my oil.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Yes, that is a symptom of a leaking injector. May run test to find out which one is leaking or replace all if high mileage. Thank you for sharing.

[@rickyj2013]

I've been working on diesels for about 10 years now but I haven't gotten to work on any detroits so I've never seen this test. This is a great idea, I could definitely apply this to other engines with unit injectors.

[@dwightsalter2394]

Very informative. Yes if I have any questions I will contact. I think I just found me a great mechanic. Step by step. Great video.

[@toontown6969]

Former freightliner tech here for about a decade and a shop for about ten years. Currently fighting one I have never seen before on a 14l. Customer swapped engines because the original was using oil. The current engine was running like crap and I saw a ton of air in the tanks. Ran a line straight off the pump into a bucket and the same deal. Ran a cut out test and the front 2 holes were dead and the 3rd was sometimes trying to hit. They had another shop put injectors in it and I had my co worker pull them out and the other shop left tons of debris in the cups, but did not see a split or burnt ring or tip seal. Cleaned it up, resealed the injectors and it sounded pretty good until he went to test drive it and we are back to 3 dead holes and very little combustion gas in the fuel unless you idle it up. I am wondering if debris got in one of the pintle tips and its pushing back into the gallery rifle.

Which line are you removing at the pump in or out line?

before you pressured the head did you look for air in fuel return line ie. put run fuel return into a bucket ? just curious . so how did air get into cylinder ? past lower oring and the copression seal .

thanks for this great video. so can you do the air pressure test without removing the jakes and rocker boxes?

Good question

[@abepenner7497]

I don't believe so. The reason to take the Jake brakes off is to take the rockers off. You need to take the rockers off so that each cylinder's valves and injectors are closed

Have 2006 12.7 that after the weekend upon starting it started sputter starting then clears after pushing out some smoke. Leaky injector? Runs fine

[@jackzamora6032]

Interesting way to find bad o-rings on injectors. My question is why did you replace the camshaft if it showed no visible signs of damage? Another way to find a bad injector o-ring is to pull off the exhaust manifold. You will definitely see a difference in the soot pattern inside the head exhaust port of the cylinder or cylinders with the leaking injectors.

[@brandonbrown8394]

Is it my injectors if it takes my truck awhile to start when cold start? 2007 14l classic

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

A longer-than-normal start may be a fuel supply issue. I recommend inspecting fuel lines for signs of leaking or fuel seepage. If nothing is found, then replace the fuel filter and ensure proper sealing. If the issue persists, the engine needs troubleshooting for fuel prime loss.

[@quentinroesch9676]

I just rebuilt my Scania motor .I noticed some white smoke from exhuast with a diesel smell to it and i see some smoke or it can be steam from breather pipe while driving it to test it it was missfireing but not all the time please give my your thoughts.I have not yet put it under load

[@danharris59]

I have an issue with sucking air in the fuel system. Everything is new front the ranks themselves to all the lines. Yet still getting air and running horrible. Would injectors not sealing create that issue?

Yes, 14l screw in. 12.7 you have to pull the head

My dd 12.7 was making oil and had about 30% fuel dissolution so I had the injector rings all changed and it’s been about two months. But recently my low oil pressure shutdown sensor activated and derating the truck.. the mechanic never changed the hold down bolts…? Should I put the die in the fuel separator and black light it or pressure test it first?

[@oscarvargas7133]

How do you do one of this test for a volvo d11? I'm getting a fuel leakage on cylinder #6 with the tech tool test

[@kingjames8283]

I had my DD S60 12.7L rebuilt four years ago, everything inside brand new except injectors. I replaced all fuel hoses from tanks to engine and back to tanks. Swapped out Fuel Pro 382 (see through filter) for old style spin-on fuel filters including all new check valves. The one issue which has never resolved is in morning with cold startup, engine fires up within 3-seconds like normal, immediately goes into cold start high idle and runs smooth (zero smoke) from 1000 rpms, 900, 800, 700, and then somewhere in the 600 rpm range as engine is warming up, it begins loping real bad and begins stuttering (putt-putt-putt still no smoke) and does not self correct as engine continues idling down into 500 rpm range. The only way to force it to stop is to blip the accelerator pedal which then immediately smooths out and stays like that the rest of day engine is running. It's done this everyday for the 11-years I've owned this truck. Sometimes during work day when going from road speed to a sudden stop such as at red traffic light, engine will lope for several seconds at idle and then smooth out. This is annoying and no one at my truck shop knows what is causing these issues. What is your experience with this irritating problem with the 60 series engines? I'm thinking about having an injector six-pack installed with all brand new injectors but I don't know if that is the problem or not. Also wondering could this be an idle validation issue with ECM. I have zero fault-codes.

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, diagnosing a no-start issue on a Series 60 Detroit over the phone can be tricky, as there are several factors that could be at play. To give you the best service, we’d need to have the unit in the shop for a proper diagnosis. Feel free to bring it by, and we'll get you back on the road!
