I got called out to a site that has a JCB 416 loading shovel, 4.4 Perkins 4 cylinder diesel that was misfiring (or so the muppets at the site said.
Got there and started it to check, misfiring was an understatement, fuel filters all clean, air cleaner too.
Slackened injector lines off one by one
1. RPM dropped a lot barely running, good spray
2. Same as No1
3. Ran much better with no3 line slightly loosened and rpm actually increased, bubbling air when loosened, rpm decreased on tightening injector line.
4. Same as 1 and 2
So decided to pull no3 injector as I figured injector pintle not closing for some reason IE tip dropped off or pintle seized
Made a slide hammer as per jcb tooling... no movement ( injector is outside rocker cover)
Found a M12x 1.5mm metric fine nut to screw onto injector pipe thread, dug out a chevy damper puller centre bolt and a 1/2 unf nut and welded that to the M12 nut, made a bridge and started to pull it out.
Loud bang and the top of the injector snapped off.
Took the head off (no easy task) tip of no3 injector had dropped off, luckily it was imbedded into the piston, got the head back home. Got 3 out of 4 out today, all 3 tops broke off so welded hardened Washers onto the tops and then welded a Cat loader frame collet bolt to the washer and then welded 2 good weld straps down 2 sides, the collet bolt is 1" unf so same thread as the hardened nut on my chevy puller, after maybe 3 attempts on each injector, 3 out, 1 to do tomorrow, luckily injectors for it are quite cheap.
Been in from new, 18 years
Going to glass paper the bore..... yes with the piston still in there as the muppets ran it for over 2 weeks and there is some bore wash but it will clean up
First picture is the injector with the missing tip. 2nd picture is the puller I made, not quite the right angle hence the washers and 2 strips of aluminium so as not to damage the rocker gasket face
Motto of this post..... never give in and find the patience of a saint and if you have air in just one line with a dead cylinder and lots of blue smoke it COULD be a tip dropped off
