Pintle Broken before Injector Removal..Screwed?
1 Attachment(s)
Well all I wanted to do was get my injectors cleaned, and while I was removing the secondary injectors the pintle broke..inside the LIM..
Attachment 576472 I removed a few pieces that were visible, but I do not know if there are any more pieces inside. So should I just remove the LIM and clean it out, or should I assume there are pieces already in the engine and pull it? I do have a fresh streetport rebuild in the garage, but I wanted to drive her around for the summer while I save up for supporting mods for the ported. |

Put a shop vac tightly sealed against the secondary port. You should feel air sucking through the primary runner. Slowly rotate the engine clockwise with a ratchet on the front port while running the vac. If the ratchet binds, at any point, disassemble the engine. If you can rotate 3 full crank turns, you're fine. |
Thanks for the response.
Should I keep the primary injectors installed and keep both secondaries removed after I pull the 2 spark plugs? |
I just re-read your response, and I realize my question above is answered in your response.
note to self: Do not respond when drinking and sleep deprived :beer: |
