IMPORTANT: The injector must not rotate in the bore of
the cylinder head, or damage to the cylinder head will
occur. If rust has formed on the hold-down nut, soak the
nut with rust-penetrating solvent for a minimum of three
minutes. Then, tap the injector body with a drift pin to
help loosen any rust.

from turning. Loosen the hold-down nut (2) with a
24-mm box wrench.
5. Clean the injector nozzle bore.
6. Remove the injector hold-down nut from the injector
body.

into the fuel drain hole.
8. Install the hold-down nut on the injector body.
9. Install a new o-ring into the recessed groove in the
top of the hold-down nut. Make sure the o-ring is not
cut or twisted during installation.
10. Apply a light coat of anti-seize compound to the
threads of the injector hold-down nut.
11. Assemble the injector and new copper washer (3).
Use only ONE copper washer. A light coat of clean
15W40 engine oil placed between the washer and
the injector will help keep the washer from falling
during installation.

of the nozzle fitting into the notch (5) in the head.
