2010 icd injector Q's

Post by ironyetty » Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:02 am

I put a rebuilt head on my 2010 ICD last year and adjusted the valves and haven't got back to try and bleed the fuel properly once I get to the injectors with the whole bleeding system I see that my injectors are leaking, will this suck enough air to not start around the leaks?

And is there any options to try and get the injector assembley to stop leaking? All the seals were replaced around the combustion chamber but it seems to be worn to the point that maybe the seals aren't big enough to create a seal.

Has anyone seen the graphite rope that lowes sells mainly for leaky faucets? I wonder if I wrapped the combustion chamber with that and put it back together if this would solve my problem.

thanks in advance,
Ironyetty

The injection system is self-bleeding. If it runs, it bleeds itself.

Leaking injector lines have no affect on getting air into the fuel system.

As to fixing leaks - just fix whatever is wrong. If you put in new seals, and they are leaking - either something is put in wrong - or the metal surfaces are damaged.

What exact IS leaking out - compression gasses or diesel fuel?
