leedog Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi guys finally managed to get the injector out of my mondeo tdci but it seems some of the thread from the block has come out with in the injector thread. Will a new injector still go in ok or is it buggered? If so what can i do if anything? Cheers lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy.h Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hi leedog think you may find it's a thread insert called a hellicoil. if so you should be able to get it replaced.# someone else should be able to help eventually, but i would not say its knackered. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 if there was a helicoil fitted and this has been damaged you may have a problem, to fit a new helicoil the threads in the head will have to be run through with a tap,the problem is what happens to the swarf/old helicoil as this could drop into the cylinder.
