gasgasman Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Are these still available? (yes,showing my age) I need to replace a Fuel Rail Pressure sensor on a 6.4L The labor time pays less than removing the valve cover. I figured a sneeky pete would get it out.

GregKneupper Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Why dont you just flag r&i valve cover and then replace the sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 What's a sneeky pete? I know it's a nitrous kit I used to have on my old car. The bottle was TINY and you could fit the solenoids inside the air cleaner, and run the feed line through the "brake booster hose" into the bottom of the air cleaner housing. But yeah, claim R&I valve cover and then changing the sensor. Failing that, MT the piss outta that badboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Gasket - Rocker Arm Cover (6584/6K260) - Remove and Install or Replace - 6.4L DI T....RIGHT 6584AR 1.8 Hm. I can't find an opcode for the sensor - anyone got an opcode for that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 OK. This Texas heat is affecting my brain. I was looking at a different labor op. Anyway, a sneaky pete was used to install rope type rear main seals without pulling the main bearing cap off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sneaky Pete, or Chinese finger is what I know it as....... http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/kd492.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 AH! Now THAT, I have used before. As for the job at hand (FRP sensor) - no fun, ever. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Close.... a sneaky pete was used to fish the rope seal through the top (engine block) half or the rear main journal... the bearing cap still needed to be removed. Larry is correct about the "chinese finger" nomenclature... the harder you pulled, the tighter it squeezed... I'm sure I have one hidden in my "antiques"....

Keith Browning Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I Googled that some time ago. I am shocked it took THIS crowd as long as it did before someone commented on it. Now it is time for drinking... for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'll have you know, young sir, that Latin is the language we used when we were discussing what colours we were going to offer dirt in when we invented it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
