Can you change the injectors on a Mercedes 617?

Can you change the injectors on a Mercedes 617?

There is no point of doing this job unless you did the valve adjustment prior (check out How to Adjust the Valves on a Diesel 617-engine). When the injectors are getting old, the spray pattern will not be optimal and it will also release pressure at the wrong pressure.

Where to install Split shot injector for 7.3L?

If your injectors are split shot injectors for 1999-2003 7.3L Power Strokes and one of them is an “AE” or “LL” type injector with a blue colored electrical connector on the solenoid, it must be installed in cylinder #8. We will appreciate it if you number your old injectors with their cylinder number.

Do you need special tools to remove an injector?

The special Ford tools for injector removal and installation are not necessary. Remove the rear-most injector from each side first; because the engine slopes down to the rear, this will allow the majority of the fuel and oil to drain into that cylinder.

What kind of injectors does a Mercedes OM617 use?

Where do the injectors rest on the bore?

Normally the injectors rest on the edge of the bore and the bolt and brackets push them down while the decoupler is squeezed to fill the space at the top and seal it in. So in my case there was slight leakage as the bore was somehow larger than the other cylinders.
