OBS 7.3 POWERSTROKE INJECTOR REMOVAL

[@geraldtoles3440]

Torque spec for injector hold down bolts is 10 inch pounds. Basically hand tight. Always good to retorque after you put a few miles on the new injectors. Also, glad you mentioned the hydro locking, I dealt with that too. Didn’t have anyone to tell me lol

[@geraldtoles3440]

Great video man, wonderful job bro!

[@geraldtoles3440]

I bought a new set of heads with my injectors, so I didn’t check lash. Hydro lock wasn’t so bad, it’s just a solid and firm bump that is audible, and it’s obviously keeps the motor from cranking. I just popped my injectors out real quick, cranked a few rotations out, and she was clear and ready to go. Just be ready for the prime up period when it’s all back together, it’ll act like a hard cold cold cold start.

[@masonh2538]

No it’s not. It’s 120 inch pounds. Which is about 10 ft-lbs

I got a 1997 7.3 four door dually with 175k and you give confidence to the weekend warrior!

[@Godisgood13208]

Thanks for the info on the back drivers side.. i have been trying to get that bolt for over a week

[@KANSASIOUX]

I love this channel. seriously... quick, fresh vibe.

[@rogers1201]

Try putting a piece of fuel line on your pry bar to protect head. Great video.

[@michellesnarski6075]

I'm currently replacing the passenger side glow plugs. I found it easier to remove the last bolt from the valve cover near the firewall, by going underneath the truck. I used a 1/4 inch drive racket with 1/2 inch quarter inch drive socket. Just my opinion. Frank

[@rossvanluven6533]

For the back passenger valve cover bolt, you can just use a deep well 13mm on a 1/4 inch ratchet. Love your videos man! I'm in Yuma doing 250/100's today along with headstuds, springs, and push rods!

[@rossvanluven6533]

@@blowingdiesel wow is all I can say! This thing moves now, but I need a clutch so I can see what the higher tunes are like. Even the economy tune slips the clutch past 1/2 throttle. Mines a single cab manual too.

[@rossvanluven6533]

@@blowingdiesel you definitely sacrifice useful space, but I love the look too much! I ordered a Southend dual disk clutch on Monday, hopefully that holds up, I really want to try the hot tunes!

[@rossvanluven6533]

@@blowingdiesel I went with the 650 horsepower street dual disk. It's definitely Overkill, but it's the same price as the 550 horsepower clutch. When it gets delivered and I install it I'll try to let you know what I think.

[@TheBlankenman]

Thanks for explaining things at a snails pace and giving the extra tidbits to know along the way. Hey I wanted to ask you is it best to drain the oil prior to taking the injectors out? I'm starting my injector pull project very soon. Thanks again.

[@exc3l610]

Does it matter which cylinder the injectors are going in ? I seen no difference in the injectors and their cup size and I want to be sure before I finish the other side and get ready to start it

[@blowingdiesel]

Nop they are not cylinder specific

[@briand6671]

Great job , was very helpful

[@ManuelSanchez-ov2ed]

I wish had watch your video as well as all the other ones I watch. I didn't take out the glow plugs, or turned the harmonic balancer. I replaced the injector cups, after putting everything back in it's place. I tried to turn the truck on. It sounded like it locked up. So what damage do you think I just caused, what do I need to do next? Thank in advance.

[@blowingdiesel]

Sorry to hear that brother I would start by taking your valve covers back off and taking your glow plugs out so you can drain the cylinders by turning the engine over by hand once it spins freely you can put everything back together and try to start it or take it to a shop to get it looked at.

[@csheldon26]

Thank you! Good video. I'm doing this work now.

[@barbaraharper7064]

If your orings are bad will that cause oil in fuel bowl.

[@chaser9889]

Have I seen this truck in Flagstaff?

[@derekj4]

Great video. Thank you.

[@connorjarrett4370]

Wish ida thought about removing that canister when i did my glow plugs.

[@mr.fenceguy6040]

Hello quick question what was the best way to remove the turbo pedestal I cant get the far nuts in the back

[@emilykremer3]

Mr.FenceGuy 1/4” swivel socket and extension and use a 3/8” ratchet with 1/4” adapter

[@Ripcurl552002]

Will be great help when I get to that point with mine.

[@miguelangelmendoza3234]

Jefe cómo se saca el aceite que seva para adentro del cilindro. Gracias

[@waynetrain3631]

I appreciate your time and effort bro! Thanks for the upload, the camera quality is awesome, what cam do you use?

[@tannerhederson4067]

How do u know if they need to be done

[@BobTheBreaker9]

should have went thru the fender area... makes it much easier

[@seannorris8893]

There is a injector oil drain you didn’t show, so not as much oil gets in cylinder

[@tcgeddes6691]

Hey man, I have no idea if you’ll see this but I’ll give it a shot. I’m looking into getting an obs and trying to build to 500hp. I’m no crazy mechanically inclined but can do my own work, just don’t know everything. Is there anything that I should watch out for or make sure I do when I build it? I.e. what brands for parts or better ways to do certain installs or parts that should be upgraded/built if I go for 500hp. Thank you for posting all these videos they are helping a ton

[@manuelmorales1319]

How you take out the oil from cylinders

[@williamuskoski1385]

Chunk of hose and a vacuum

[@stevepotts7796]

thanks for the info good work

[@obspowerstroke1864]

Are you getting stock or bigger injectors? If you get big injectors what size ?

[@alexgasca8206]

I didn’t really understand how to drain the cilinders

[@grahamelliott4689]

Mine won’t come out. No matter how hard you try and pry....

[@thatpowerstrokebloke]

Awesome video bro 👊 and dang good clickbait too 😂

[@thatpowerstrokebloke]

928 OBS haha true facts 😂

[@ic3cold561]

Nice do you plan on replacing the cups? I did just to be safe.

[@dylanmace1963]

How hard are they to replace?

[@narmale]

dude that drive side rear valve cover bolt was the worst part of the whole thing >< just started on mine today

[@narmale]

@@blowingdiesel yeah at first i tried 3/8 short with a wobble, then i started feeling around back there and was like wtf there isnt any room, so then i grabbed the ¼ drive and ujoint and it popped right out really weird how low of torque they are for the size, ima use threadlocker on them when i get them all re-installed, i always have bad luck with valve covers so i dont want any more oil leaks than normal for the diesel lolol!

[@narmale]

@@blowingdiesel i just started on head studs last night... that outside rear one... talk about a pain to get at... even with the cab lifted fron the passenger side its still a total pain to get at and torque down

[@narmale]

yeah... disaster struck tonight... putting the last side springs in... and it's WAY off... needed .190 of shims to come out right, but at that much shim it's now in coil bind when trying to open... valve guide is ovaled and leaking exhaust gas and boost, the seal is melted... so the head has to come off to get new guides installed... and I thought I was close to being able to get it running again T.T

Nesesita kitar los Glow plugs y tratar de ensender la troca sin ke ensienda para que abiente el aseite por los orificios de los Glow plugs
