"ifs" injectors???

[907DAVE]

Torque them to 70in/lb.

Truck is running great, I am trying to fine tune the turbo's (compounds are confusing), and the tuning (tuning is confusing).

I'm a little late on this one, but yeah, IFS is a big reman company for Ford.
Hands down almost all of the IFS injectors I work on are SHOT. They throw some new parts in them and do nothing to fix the actual wear, and most times it's these injectors that fail again.

I cringe when I get an IFS injector, and about pass out when there's 4 or 5 in the set...I know then it's going to be a long day...

I can tell the injectors in this truck are not for long. I went through the paperwork we got for this truck, when we bought it, the injectors were replaced by a Ford dealer in Albany, NY as "new injectors" and the bill was for $3850, this included oil, oil filter, and fuel filter. Also there is only 50,000 ish miles on the injectors.

The best part is the clearance under the Armature plate (What Jim Rosewood call measurement A) was less than 0.0015" (the smallest feeler gauge I have)
on all for odd # injectors. That was while the engine was warm to the touch.
I will shim them up when it get cold this fall.

If they were new (50k ago) they should but at least 0.003"

Buy the way, Jim your web site and talking with you on the phone has helped me out a lot and save my thousands $$ in the past few years, Thanks
