Alright fellows, the time has come at 200,000km for me to do rocker arms on my 6.4
I know the shop manual and pretty much everything else says "Don't re-use the injector lines". I was planning on re-using the line from the HPFP to the fuel rail. But the individual injector lines, what say you guys about re-using them?
The torque spec spells out loosely tightening the line to the injector before torquing the injector, so obviously I'm going to skip that step since I am trying to avoid removing the injector and spending $21 each on injector line/seal kits. What are the guys who are re-using them using for a torque spec?
This is on my own personal truck. On a customer's truck I'd change them, but on my own stuff I'm interested in saving myself almost $200 (with taxes) on lines and seals, since I'm already into it a shit pile for a radiator, front brakes, and rocker arms this week. Fuck me. Never rains but it pours. And it's not even like it's shit that I can ignore - it's my daily driver. LOL.
Any input would be appreciated. The guy who runs our local injection shop said he'd have no problems re-using the injector lines as long as they went on the same injector and the truck passed the HP fuel test when everything was reassembled.
Thanks in advance guys!
