diesel injector pressure setting

Post by taff jones » Sun Feb 15, 2015 7:12 pm

Hi everyone, question from a newbie, I,'ve just bought our first ever bongo, a "dead one at that" (cylinder head cracked) I,m gonna fit a brand new head along with new pistons , big ends and mains. My question is :- as I,'ve taken the injectors out to fit to the new head I may as well reset and clean them, does anyone know what the injector break off is in atmospheres please, any help would be gratefully received, thanks in advance, taff, :P

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

No expert on injectors but make sure you find out why the head failed. Look up how to bleed the system, too. :wink:

Let us know how the project progresses. :D

Hi Bob, thanks for your reply, I have read something about the performance of bleeding the cooling system lol, I bought the bongo last week as a non runner, took the glow plugs out and turned her over and a small ( very small) amount of coolant was ejected from number two, I,m gonna whip the head off tomorrow evening, I noticed it was very very low on coolant though so I guess previous owner wasn't keeping an extra keen eye on this.

A quick Google will reveal three You Tube videos, done be well known Forum members, and a little time searching 'Cooling System' on here will be time well spent.

Other than that the Bongo is a good old fashioned, simple, beast. :D

Well done, Butt. :D
