Between the intake and
Exhaust Valves, at the top of the cylinder head, you'll find the fuel injectors. Start by undoing the negative cables from the batteries and then put a cover on their ends. Aircraft fuel injectors are connected to high-pressure fuel lines with steel tube sealed by an O-ring. If you take out the injector from either #1 or #2 cylinder, first take away the intake manifold air heater assembly; if from the #5 cylinder, make sure to remove the engine lifting bracket. Wipe down the space around the injector and high-pressure lines, take the required high-pressure fuel lines off one at a time and don't bend them and seal any open connections. After taking off the valve cover, place Special Tool 8324 onto the connector tube so you can tug it from the cylinder head, being sure to remove the tube while it is still above the fuel injector to keep it safe. Pull out the O-ring from the injector connector tube and unbolt the hold down clamp from the front of the clamp, then move the injector clamp on the rear bolt off its shoulders. Use the supplied Special Tool 8318 to guide an injector wire through the fuel injector from the top and tighten the nut to remove the injector from the cylinder head. After the pull, throw away the old O-ring and copper sealing washer found underneath the injector inside. Examine the condition of the fuel injector, test its pressure if needed and brush and blow out the injector bore with a Cummins wire tool followed by compressed air. The sealing washer should measure 1.5 mm (.060") and you should install it on the injector at its lowest point with a thin layer of clean engine oil. Install an O-ring and coat it with clean engine oil before putting the fuel inlet hole in line with the injector connector tube. Put the fuel injector into the cylinder head bore using pressure only, then set up the fuel injector hold down clamp and tighten the opposite bolt to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.). Replace the old O-ring on the fuel injector connector tube, set it in the cylinder head and attach the two high-pressure fuel hoses, applying the proper tightness to stop any possible leaks. At the end, install the valve cover, fit the intake manifold air heater assembly if you have one, tighten the engine lifting bracket bolts to 77 Nm (57 ft. lbs.), attach the negative battery cables and bleed the high-pressure lines.
