Luckily, all the internals seem to be free. The air hasn't got to them. Even though they had more water in them than diesel, no rust.
The nozzles, however, are a different story. They are all rusted into the holders and two of them have the needles rusted in. I thought I would blunt the tips of the needles trying to drive them out. I guess I'll have to remove the nozzles to clean them, anyway.

An upside - I now know what a pre combustion chamber looks like! (one is full of leaves???!)

Personally, I don't know anything about injectors but a friend who is a Mercedes Benz Diesel mechanic told me that when a little bit of compression starts to blow by the injector, a buildup of black tar-like stuff will glue the injector in. This is probably the dried out diesel remains that Mrsmackpaul mentioned. My friend says he alternately heats up the injector and then tries to move it with whatever he can grip it with. He says you have to heat it many times until the goo melts enough to let you get the injector loose.

Hi Morris. I wish it was that. In this case, it's rust from underneath. All four pots were full of water. However, I will get it going!

Thanks, Jarrod.

PS: I know nothing about injectors, either! This is the first diesel I've pulled apart.

The best way to remove a stuck injector is in a press. Flogging them with a hammer and punch or leaning on them with a big pair of stilsons, more often than not, costs you more than the $30 nozzle that your going to replace anyway.

Good luck asw...you are a better man than me. i gave up on the inter 564, just left the injectors undone (Was still going) and hoped they would get blown out. Never did. Sold now. Hope to hear some good news from you after your holiday.

You knew this was coming.....I learn by making mistakes. Two days in the freezer is not enough! I'm in the process of making a sleeve puller. I hope 1/2" Booker rod is strong enough, otherwise I have some old Acrow prop stands I can cut up..........

I hope to find some dry ice tomorrow, locally. I'm also going to ring a supplier of liquid nitrogen.

Wish me luck, Jarrod.

did you have a doohicky built to pull it in ready and waiting just encase ????

depending on how far in the sleeve is you may be able to just wrap a chain around the block and stick a biggish bottle jack on top under the chain and on to of the sleeve and press it in the rest of the way, do I sound like a rough farmer LOL

Do not ask how I know these things but life throws us lessons every now and then LOL

Hey Paul;

1. of couse not! :silly:

2. That's a great idea. Half the problem is the steering shaft is in the way. It's an epic job to remove, as the two halves of the uni joint are rusted onto the shaft. Hopefully the shaft will come out of the box end. (the grille is still on at this point)

More food for thought.

Jarrod.

Last night I got thinking (I know I shouldn't do that).. It occurred to me that I have some Booker rod for undoing the front suspension on Studebakers. This comes with long nuts, really big washers and a thrust bearing from Dodge 200 kingpins.
I cut and turned up a piece of approximately 4mm flat steel, which already had a hole in the middle, into just under 4 1/2" diameter to pull the stuck sleeve out. Then I thought I could just as easily use it to pull the sleeve in.
Behold: Jed's patented sleeve un-F-U- erer / puller-in-erer!

Sent from my 'phone.....let's see how this goes. ...
