Got that right! There are few people out there that can/would jump into such a project, and even fewer that have the ability to see it through. My hats off to you.

I am just imagining driving home with that big head on that plastic bed liner and then having to stop real quickly. Whammo!

Kyle,

Before I started this project, I didn't know there was different types of sleeves. Then I heard the terms wet and dry, but didn't know what that meant.

I was trying to find somebody to come out and pull them for me, but didn't know what type of sleeves they were, just that I wanted them out!!

Of course, everyone is so busy that it's about impossible to get somebody to come out for a small job.

Getting them out took me three days. Putting them back in took half an hour.


Don, Plumboy & Puck,

Thank you, but it's not something I want to do. Kind of got myself in over my head and my only option is to keed digging deeper.


bbse,

You mean there's a third type of sleeve???? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif


Syncro,

Thank you.


Highbeam,


I slid the bead to the front of the bed. Learned that lesson quite awhile ago. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Today started out with the simple plan of putting the head on the block and assemble enging parts. It sounded simple enough while having my cup of coffee and watching the birds in my yard.

Of course, I'd forgotten about the injector nozzle breaking off when I took the head to the machine shop. They fixed the exhuast bolts, but never new about the nozzle, so it was still in there this morning.

I tried to tap it out without any success. Then I tried to break it free with a punch, screwdriver and chisel with minimal results. After 5 hours, I had all sorts of little pieces out, but then I hit a point that I couldn't go any further.

This is when I got the idea to drill it out. I've never claimed to be very quick in thinking up solutions, but in time, they usually come to me.

I needed an 11/16 drill bit, which I didn't have. Luckily Tractor Supply had a few.

An hour later I had it out. Lots of oil, lots of compressed air and I added a handle onto my drill to control the drill. It was a little scary, but in the end, it worked.

This gives you an idea of what I was working in. The hole is 7 inches deep.

That little nut looking thing is what finally came out. The rest was in shavings!!!

The brand new nozzle is at the bottom of the pictures and gives you an idea of what the old one looked like.
