fuel injector replacement

[bryfor]

I replaced a leaking fuel injector nozzle after determining it wasnt one of those pesky clamps or the rubber fuel line causing my issue. I installed a new sealing copper washer and torqed it to the spec in the manual. Im usually a stickler on using anti seize lubricant on most everything however it slipped my mind this time. There seems to be no mention of using it in the procedure. Anyone ever had a problem with one that was hard to remove? The repair went well so should I just let it ride? Thanx

If it starts and runs drive it. you are looking to deep. The nozzles are in these engine for 30 + years and I remove them with a 30mm nozzle socket and a 3/8" ratchet. You done the right thing.

Thanx...I know youve been around these things for quite awhile and probably have experienced more repairs than I have. We had cucvs in my first duty at ftknox in 1984 thru my assignment at scholfield barracks hawaii ending in 1993. By then they were replaced with hummers which were much more difficult to work on. Thanx for the info.
