Hi,

now the trucks all MOT'd I thought I'd best sort out the leaking injector. I've done a search and they dont seem too bad but I wonder if theres any pitfalls ( like is it possible to drop the washer down into the bore etc..any handy hints appreciated.

cheers

if the copper washer/s dropped into the bores you would have a big problem, so would the people who make the engines. rest assured they dont, im not sure on 200//300 engines but on oldr ones there are 2 washers a flat 1 and a corrugated 1 and when you tighten the injector bolts the corrugated 1 commpreses and makes the seal.

thanks, I've just ordered them and it seems to be just the 1 washer per injector

Hi, re checked all the washers and they're fine, the noise seems to be coming from the rear/top of the engine..could it be exhaust manifold ?

more likely tappets if its a tappety noise ! Sorry,couldnt resist.Rocker cover off and make sure all the valve shaft caps are on,if theres one missing....find it!Its a straightforward job to do the valve clearances,its on here,in haynes,etc etc

okey doke, I've set the tappetts ( though I sort of knew it wasn't them ) but the noise is still there.. its a definate phit, phit, phit sound.. kind of like a tiny hole in the exhaust would sound like but seems to be coming from the top rear of the engine
