LB7: Teardown thread
- Thread starter KEVINL
- Start date
- Notice: The fuel injector must be cleaned with the proper cleaning equipment. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning methods, such as a metallic brush, to remove deposits. Cleaning an injector with improper tools will damage the fuel injector.<LI type=1>Use a soft bristle non-metallic brush and top engine cleaner, GM P/N 1052626 or equivalent, to remove any deposits from the nozzle tip (1) and the copper washer sealing area (2) before re-installation. <LI type=1>Inspect the fuel injector nozzle tip (1) for any signs of discoloration (dark yellow, tan, or blue) due to excessive heat.
- Replace the injector if any damage is found.
Kevin there is alot of info on here, in the Gm spec area,start at page 9 with this link and look at 10,also around the 2 and 3 are.http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=97&order=desc&page=9

LOL yes and no kinda I guess,You can use a brush just the right one,your post was easier to quote it on, Not pointing any fingers :hug:
I am trying to figure out the valve train,
I made the mistake of not seeing the orientation of the valve bridges although I have them set where they look like they are all in full contact with the rockers.
I also didn't mark which side was which of the valve train assembly.
I havent torqued it downcompletly but some pushrods have alot of play.
AnY info this
I don't want to have to adjust the valves

You have to back the rockers off before tqing the shaft mount down,and you must reset the valave lash, You can break the rocker shaft trying to bolt it down with out backing the rocks off o even a push rod.
Nothing can be easy
Do you have the valve lash adjustment procedure
I also need torque specs for injector holddowns

So it looks like I only have to set the crankshaft at number 1 TDC on the intake stroke adjust the highlighted valves
then number 1 tdc on the exhaust stroke. and adjust the remaining valves
And the intake and exhaust valves use the same lash .012 inches or .3mm
How do I know when it is on the intake and exhaust stroke?

watch the valves and wait to see the intake arm open up and close, having the number 1 injector out helps
