Basic PT Injectors.
Standard injector for small cam, What you called brass are actually called coppers and seal out the coolant jacket. There is a special cone shaped brush for cleaning the coppers.
But I'm going to step back and let others finish this thread. Good luck.
Yep just plain old PT injectors none of that new fangled top-stop stuff! Am I showing my age here or what?
Same here, been so many years since I really worked on a small cam or any Cummins I forget how big a hammer to drive those injectors in with!I agree, I just throw down what I can remember as my biggest headaches.
I'm thinking you mean the plunger out of the injector? Or would that be the short rod from rocker arm to the plunger?Made many a center punch with the pushrod off a Cummins injector.
I still have all the complicated timing tools for those engines. I can’t even remember the last time I even got them out!
Better stay....you’re the resident expert sir.
What was always fun was if you had to replace cams or timing gears in a 1710. Used the same tools with the exception that you had to do it twice and if it was off you had to figure out how much it was off and which direction then pull cam and press off the gear(s) and remove the original cam key and then determine which way the new offset key had to face. Then heat the gear up and reinstall it and hope you got it right the first time. Then repeat on the other bank!I still have all the complicated timing tools for those engines. I can’t even remember the last time I even got them out!
