Sticky Injector 8v92 TA DDEC

[Hat52MY]

At the end of our last trip back from the Bahamas the transom had some soot coverage. Also have a flag on the oil analysis of a possible injector issue. The airseps are new (good air flow), a quick check of the turbos and they all spinning freely. I was going to have my Diesel Mechanic out to check the electronic injectors and valve clearances. Is there anything’s else I should have him check while things are open?

Fuel filters and returns.

If your getting a good ddec mechanic he should know what to look for.

I have mine flow tested and cleaned at RPM Diesel in Fort Lauderdale every two years. Not too many shops can do the DDEC units.

I’m not sure of the age of the injectors but I do know they are at least 10yrs old. Would it be better to have them all replaced or tested and replaced defective & questionable injectors? What is the typical cost of a new injector (DDEC) w/core exchange?

Call RPM and get a quote. I won't be back to the boat for a week or so to look up the last invoice.
