Injector removal

I forgot to mention that I took a heat gun to the exhaust manifold, and took readings at each cylinders exhaust. Only way I could figure out where I was having a problem. The passenger side was cooler than the drivers side, by 75 degrees on cylinders 1 and 3. I pulled all four on the...

Injector removal

Fairly easy job to do, after I did it. Draining the oil rail is simple. You rap the rear allen head, that is located under the valve cover, with a punch, to keep yourself from stripping it if it is too tight. You're not trying to turn it, just breaking it loose. Crack one of the outside...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned, on the passenger side valve cover, remove the silver heat shield, and then on the side of the heater box, there is a rectangular vacuum box held on with two screws. Remove this from the heater box, and the valve cover slips right up and out clearing the...
