Diesel Injector and pump repairs

[VK3UTE]

Hi All.

Can anyone recommend someone in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne for diesel injector and injector pump reconditioning?
Has anyone tried these repairs themselves and been successful?

Cheers simon

Thanks Dave, was it a difficult job? It just seems a very expensive process to have done professionally

I can reccomend Deisel Tech in Lilydale
12/ 64 Beresford Rd

they also do a before and after dyno test.

3/5 for the injectors

4/5 maybe 5/5 spanners for the injector pump

no having it done professionally is not cheap, but the consequences of getting it wrong when DIY ing can be more expensive.

I have been successful at rebuilding CAV pumps for tractors, but have only swapped over the injectors, never having access to a hand pump to test them.

See David Rankin at Rankin Diesel in Bayswater.

Good operators but not cheap.

the pump is more or less the same as those, just the governor setup changes a little but its those little changes that make the difference between a normal running engine and one that decides that redline should be up somewhere near C

I've been told that AG Diesel on the Westall Bypass is the place to go. A car repairer I know recommended them as he takes all his diesel problems to them to be sorted.

i know this is a thread big but i have smoothing important to add to anyone who is searching.
if you do the pump yourself leave the air intake open near turbo if fitted and have a large book and helper when you start it.
if the engine runs away get the helper to quickly cover the intake to kill the engine.

i have seen this done with a 350hp blown detroit diesel that had intake swapped and put together wrong.
it only ate 2 pages.
