A fuel injector bore cleaning kit, EN-47909, is scheduled for release at the end of October, 2005 for use in all Duramax™ diesel engines. This kit will aid in the cleaning of carbon deposits from the injector sleeve or the injector bore during an
injector replacement.
Injector Bore Cleaning Instructions
- Install the radial brush to the handle assembly.
- Insert the brush into the bore and rotate to break loose any carbon deposits from the injector bore walls and the combustion deck hole.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
- Use compressed air to evacuate debris from the injector bore.
- Install the axial brush to the handle assembly.
- Insert the axial brush into the bore and, while rotating, apply a slight downward pressure to force the brush ends to the bottom corners of the injector bore.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage
- Use compressed air to evacuate debris from the injector bore.
Notice: Do not allow excessive amounts of solvent to go into the cylinder during cleaning. Failure to do so may cause engine damage upon startup.
- Lightly dampen a cotton swab with GM Top Engine Cleaner,
P/N 1052626 (in Canada, 993026) or an equivalent product, and wipe the deposits from the injector bore.
- Inspect the bore for deposits and repeat brushing if necessary.
Caution: Keep hands and face clear of glow plug holes while cranking. Hot liquid or gases may be expelled during cranking.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
Notice: Do not crank the engine to expel solvent from the cylinder on a 2001-2004 C/K or C4500/5500 vehicle with the LB7 engine. Cranking the engine with the injector removed may cause the injector sleeve to unseat
and fill the cylinder with engine coolant.
- If necessary, on LLY/LBZ engines only, crank the engine to expel any solvent before starting the engine.
9.1. | Remove the glow plugs. |
