Work Procedure Gh Action
WORK SEQUENCEIMPORTANT: In order to remove injector inserts engine must be at operating temperature (engine oil temperature approximately 80 degrees centigrade).
A. Check for Carbon Build-up
(Naturally aspirated and turbo charged engines)
-- Disconnect battery.
-- Remove fuel injector retaining bar. (Naturally aspirated only)
-- Disconnect cruise control and throttle linkage from throttle housing. (Turbo only)
-- Remove air deflector plate. (Turbo only)
-- Unclip and remove fuel injection lines retaining bracket.
-- Remove cylinder #1 and #2 fuel injectors with lines attached. Cover fuel injector openings.
-- Remove cylinder #2 fuel injector insert.
-- Use flashlight and mirror to check for carbon deposits on intake valve.
--If intake valve does not show any deposits-see Illustration 1, valve display 1 through 3 - no cleaning is required. Proceed by reinstalling and reconnecting parts in reverse order.
-- If intake valve shows deposits - see Illustration 1, valve display 4 through 10 - proceed according to preparation and cleaning procedure B and C.
B. Preparation
(Naturally aspirated engines)
Note position of clamps and tie wraps; they must be reinstalled in the original position and location.
-- Disconnect throttle and cruise control linkage from throttle body.
-- Disconnect air intake hose from air filter housing.
-- Remove air filter housing.
-- Disconnect terminal from cold start valve, remove cold start valve with fuel line attached.
-- Remove remaining fuel injecters with lines attached and set aside.
Injecters must be covered to avoid dust entry or damage.
-- Remove CO tube.
-- Remove all spark plugs so that engine can easily be turned by hand.
-- Disconnect terminals from idle stabilizer valve and throttle switches.
-- Remove idle stabilizer valve, disconnect vacuum hoses and ground wire from intake manifold.
-- Disconnect hose from air injector port on cylinder head.
-- Remove intake manifold.
-- Clean gasket areas of intake manifold and cylinder head.
-- Remove remaining fuel injector inserts.
(Turbo charged engines)
-- Remove remaining fuel injecters with fuel lines attached.
Injecters must be covered to avoid dust entry or damage.
-- Remove throttle and cruise control linkage/bracket from intake manifold.
-- Disconnect air hose from air injecter port on cylinder head.
-- Remove air intake hose from manifold to inter cooler.
-- Disconnect throttle switch terminal.
-- Remove air intake tube from inter cooler to air intake boot.
Note position of clamps and tie wraps; they must be reinstalled in the original position and location.
-- Remove air filter housing.
-- Remove CO tube.
-- Remove oxygen sensor.
-- Disconnect cold start valve terminal.
-- Remove clamps and tie-wraps.
-- Remove idle stabilizer and disconnect vacuum hose from manifold.
-- Remove cold start valve with fuel line attached.
-- Remove intake manifold.
-- Remove remaining fuel injecter inserts.
-- Remove all spark plugs so that engine can easily be turned by hand.
-- Clean gasket areas of intake manifold and cylinder head.
C. Cleaning of Intake Valves and Ports
(Naturally aspirated and turbo charged engines)
-- Set up carbon blaster as per attached instructions.
[Adhere to safety precautions]
-- To clean cylinder #1 intake valve and port, set engine to TDC of #1 cylinder.
TDC marking "0" must align with casting marking on clutch housing and marking on camshaft sprocket align with seal as per illustration.
-- Load carbon blaster metering chamber by turning "Fill/Run" control knob to "Fill" position for 15 seconds and then to "Run" position.
-- Clean threads of fuel injector insert port.
-- Install adapter (21) into insert port and connect return hose to adapter.
-- Install cover plate (18 dual/19 single) with cleaning nozzle to intake port.
-- Cover air injector port on cylinder head with CO tube cap.
-- Stuff rags into adjacent insert ports of cylinder head to prevent cleaning particles from entering.
-- Turn carbon blaster knob to "Blast" position.
-- Move and rotate blasting/cleaning nozzle by hand to reach all areas of the intake valve and port for one (1) minute.
-- Turn carbon blaster knob to "Clean" position, clean for one (1) minute.
-- Remove cover plate with cleaning nozzle.
-- Inspect intake valve with mirror and flashlight.
-- Blow out any remaining particles.
-- Remove return hose and adapter.
-- To clean cylinder #2, 4, 5, and 3 (in firing order) turn engine by hand to set cylinder to TDC.
-- Repeat cleaning procedure as described for cylinder #1.
-- After cleaning of all valves is completed use compressed air to clean all intake ports.
-- Reassemble engine by using the following new parts:
