    Fuel Injector service

    Any advice on who to use for fuel injector service once I remove them from my MAN mechanical 8's?

    Thanks,

    Re: Fuel Injector service

    Anybody taken MAN injectors out? Most people are talking about collars with retaining bolts into the block that you remove after the fuel lines come off. These look more like a collar ring around the injector that threads into the block that needs a spanner of some sort.

    Thanks,

    Thank you for the recommendation, John was easy to work with and very responsive on every single call I made to him. I have not run the boat yet at full tilt but the injectors are working great at lower RPM's (completely solved my low RPM smoking condition) and his pricing was very fair.

    Re: Fuel Injector service

    I have one minor fuel leak at one injector that is giving me fits trying to fix. I still can't tell if its the fuel feed union or the side mounted compound return attachments. Does anyone know the proper torque value for a 17mm metal fuel line union nut so I can check my tightening force? Related items suggest 15 - 21 ft lbs. Next week I will take a closer look to get it fixed completely but I have to move the boat today. I have already loosened, turned washers and retightened and that helped but did not completely solve the problem.

    Thanks,

    I want to thank you for your recommendation. John was very responsive, his pricing was fair and the rebuilt injectors work great from idle to full load.
