How to Replace Injectors and Cups on a Volvo D13 Part 2/2
Don't forget that your injectors need to be programmed after installation. A dealer or a local shop will be able to do it. You need to write down the numbers or take picture from each injector to give to programmer. each injector has it's own number so keep the numbers in order.
tools:
14mm socket
13mm socket
18mm socket
injector cup install tool(part number in video)
tools for injector tool
adjustable wrench
24mm wrench
high pressure lube
injector for cup sealer(part number in video)
torque wrench
torque specs
injector hold down 60ft lb
Rocker arms : 44ft lb large bolt and smaller rear bolt on each pair. 20ft lb+120 degree smaller front bolts. loosen rear bolts after torqing front and do 20+120 on those also. 44ft lb+120 degreesfor larger bolt (watch video for more detail)

I'm from columbus drive 7 hours to Virginia because I trust this guy to replace my injector, cup, and adjust the valve. This guy is a mechanic i can trust and the price he gave me plus a hotel and gas was still better than what other shops offered me. Thanks 😊

Jake break in my d13 volvo engine work but is week , so I need to change engine break aculator , located under valve cower? And I need to do that drain coolant before changing that valve?

[@markdepermentier4361]

So let me get this right, he puts the injector holder in with the tool and the new torque to yield bolt, he then torqued it to maximum yield then removed it and reused it, once you torque it to yield the bolt is no longer good, if you want to hold the tool in while you install the cup use the old bolt

[@cardinaltruckservice3753]

We have a genius over here, also the bolt can be used 5 times per volvo 😅

[@truckcaretv8649]

Good

[@perlindros9784]

Agree, in factory assembly in the yearly 2000 we torqued 20 Nm 120 degrees if I remember correcty. We had a copper washer with plastic deformation to seal. Design could have changed since. But definity, torque once.

Before I spend anymore money lol

[@cardinaltruckservice3753]

+Doug Besplug I think the same tool can be used to remove the copper cups, but you will need to change injectors if changing to steel cups cause different design

[@cardinaltruckservice3753]

It is the same for most trucks. remove wheels, loosen slack adjuster all the way. remove drum, remove two springs from brake shoes and they should come off. then put on new ones in reverse. of the drum doesn't come off you may need to hit it a few times with a sledge hammer on lip

[@ChooseLanes]

hi great videos I appreciate you posting these helpful videos, I have a question I am considering using the copper cups because people say that you dont need to replace the injectors I heard there are two different types of installation tools one is a push through and other is considerd a pull through which do you recomend to use for a copper cup and what does it look like in comparrising to the one you use in this video? thank you.

[@cardinaltruckservice3753]

Get the steel cups, if installed correctly they last alot longer than people think. I don't remember anyone in last 5 years coming back to redo cups unless head was off or injector went bad. Copper cups use different injectors as well but if your cups are bad you likely have at least a couple injectors with bad mating surface so will need replaced anyways. The tool I used is old and the push through tool came out before video. Haven't done copper cups in a long time. I think tool looks like the one in video but the swedge end has 3 swedges on it

[@ChooseLanes]

@@cardinaltruckservice3753 thanks for the replay really appreciate it, I have a quick question I have completed the cup and injector and now I'm on valves adjustment (VEB) but I cant seem to get my engine to turn from the alternator bolt the pulley is just sliding on the belt as I turn it also how bad is it to leave the adjustment alone and running the engine and take it to someone else to do the valve adjustment or is there anolther way i could turn the engine? thanks.

20lb plus 180° then back of and do 20lb plus 90° if using new bolts. Used bolt should be around 65lb

[@jeffsmith8066]

Aren't the swedging bits a three step bit? I was able to do these in my sleep when I worked for Mack. It's been a few years but I definitely remember the swedge being three different stages Also, invest in a gear wrench 15/16 flex head ratcheting wrench. Very cheap from Menards. Makes those days where you're doing 2-3 sets of injectors and cups not so rough .

[@davidfleishman2275]

Late reply here.I worked at a Volvo dealer for 12 years.Volvo decided to use an antiquated rocked arm unit injection system.They are trying to get 35000 psi out of the system.You cannot keep injectors and cup in the engine because the high injection pressure deforms the injector and cup to a point where the injector hold down come loose.Then you get combustion gas into the cooling system or the fuel return.Only cure is to do regular cups and injectors.On the 4th set you will need a cylinder head.

Hate to do cups and injectors for no reason, noticed it’s not starting as good cold, seems to start good warm?
