LBZ Swap Progress
How did things work out with the water pump issue? I am putting an LBZ long block in my '05 LLY and was planning on either stretching the LLY hose onto the LBZ water pump housing or swapping the LLY front cover and water pump onto the LBZ. What did you end up doing? Seems like the LBZ water... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
What about without the head studs? I am now looking at an '06 LBZ long block that has a cracked piston but already has head studs. I am going to check it out and probably just replace all the pistons with LB7 pistons with new rings, hone the cylinders (if the one with the cracked piston looks... -

HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
^^^ That is correct. I didn't recall the thread pitch when I went into Oreilly's Auto Parts. Just told them I needed a lug nut for an '05 2500HD and they showed me what they had. Picked the cheapest one at $1.99. :thumb: -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Don't want to thread jack so I will keep this short and sweet and probably post this up elsewhere but wanted you all to see the outcome.... This is what I found in the teardown... :mad: -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Thanks for this tip. :thumb: As you can see in my previous post that is just what I did. I found a #8 Hardened nut and welded it to one side of the universal from Harbor Freight. ($7.95), and bought a short lug nut from Orielly's ($1.99). Since my threads on the injector were boogered up... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Ok, so I finally got the #8 injector out!!! :beer Here it is.... Now, next steps... Does THIS look like the best price on headgaskets and ARP studs? I checked a couple different vendors and they wanted over 1k for gaskets and ARP studs. I am going to continue teardown to get the heads off... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Also, I may have to scrap the lower valve cover now anyway because it has a fracture in it to the right of the #8 injector from the sealing surface down. Unless I can salvage it somehow. It is a small fracture but I don't want oil seeping out or water getting in. -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
So how can I get the head off if I cannot get the injector out? There are head bolts (at least one) hidden by the lower valve cover which is not going to come off without removing the injector. The only way I could figure is maybe the injector will let me lift the lower valve cover enough to... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Based on the fact that he only had it for 10k miles, I assume that he bought it thinking he could get it to run better, (was white smoking) and after trying to replace injectors, couldn't get it to run right or start and used Starting Fluid on it. He didn't admit to this. He just said he... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
Do you have any trouble pulling at an angle to the injector? Do you think my 2lb weight should be enough if I work at it a little longer or do I need to spend more money to get a 5lb? Also trying to decide if I need to move the brake booster. I am trying to spend as little as possible on... -
HELP: LMM injector seized in cylinder head
I am in the same boat with a stuck injector. To top it off, it is #8. :mad: All 7 others came right out with no more than a screwdriver under the hold down. I don't have a tractor, forklift, cherry picker or welder but I did go to Harbor Freight and pick up a small slide hammer for $21.99...
