Thread: Td5 injector washers question

Take the rocker cover off , turn the ignition on , you'll see where its coming from if it's that big a leak

He had the injectors out by the time I got there, defiantly stored for future reference though...the worst washer on my defender( witch would start but run very poorly for a few minuets before loosing power was far better than the best of his 5.
Cheers

Sparrows fart oil decanting results
16.5 L plus another one Serling to check for nasties st the bottom
Just over 7.5 went back in( no filter change yet)
Frankly gobsmacked at the quantity

The diesel in oil is caused by the o-rings, the washers have not much to do with that

Pic of the offending items( hopefully)

The washers have nothing to do with diesel in oil only with combustion gas backpressure in fuel, see the attachment and you'll understand why, the arrows are where the fuel is circulating, fuel through the copper washers would hydrolock the engine not else, the compression is much higher than the fuel pressure so quite unlikely for fuel to get through with running engine but the fuel pressure is higher than the oil pressure so a leaking o-ring would let fuel into the oil

Your problem was the copper washers , your mates is ( hopefully, for your mates sake ) , the 'o' rings , as sierrafery stated . If it's not , then its probably a cracked head , hence my first post about ign on , rocker cover off , have a look. I can only see one of those copper washers that may have tracking and even that might be a shadow, but that's only one side , anyway those aren't the problem

Are you sure the orings are in the correct groove on the injector?
As said earlier, take rocker cover off, turn ignition on and loom for fuel. If it's not obvious, your heads most likely cracked.
