How to Replace Injectors and Cups on a Volvo D13 Part 2/2

[@fannyngangi9178]

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 😊

[@Stangnotch03]

The pen is called a swedge bit, new injector hold down bolt is to be torqued to 60ft lbs . That's the older style of injector cup installer as well due to it pulling the cup away from the head

[@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.

[@davidfleishman2275]

@@strubies The Loctite sleeve locker is the orange colored stuff.Try you auto parts store or industrial supply store.Yes they eliminated the graphite paste.It was used at the base of the injector and was getting into the fuel system.Small pieces of graphite were getting into the injectors.

How do you test for bad injector cups? Or fuel filter housing how to tell which one you need to replace?

[@cardinaltruckservice3753]

Put a clear line on cylinder head fuel line inlet. If it has bubbles then you have leak before injector cups. If clear, but bubbles in fuel tank, then injector cups. Most likely is cups but better to check

Can you explain to me how to adjust the valves of this type of engine? What is the meaning of veb

[@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.

Is there another way to diagnose injector cups? I have hard starting but I'm not seeing any bubbles in the fuel tank. Could it be build up on the crank position sensor. I was told to clean it and be sure there's no metallic build up as it makes it difficult for the sensor to see the timing marks on the flywheel.

Pump your fuel with hand pump that on fuel housing before starting. If it still takes a while to start then it could be sensor

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

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 .
