Rebuilding Ford 7.3 Powerstroke HEUI Diesel Injectors

The process used to clean and rebuild the HEUI Injectors common to the legendary 7.3 powerstroke ford/navistar engine. It's too expensive to buy replacements and most shops won't even rebuild them anymore. What a shame. I got through the whole process from disassembly to reassembly.

Not intentional, but it worked out that this content is a few years old. The truck is still going strong 226k miles as of February 2023. All the injectors still seem to be doing just fine.

The amount of different chemicals you expose your hands to is astounding. That's coming from a daily diesel mechanic.

Indeed. He's got a good video here but all those chems just soak into the blood stream. For a long time I thought if ya didn't have grease on your hands, you weren't working. But as I got older and understood the body a little better not to mention being warned about the toxic effects of all these oils have, I wear the rubber gloves now and when they tear I put on new ones.

For anyone watching, just use a pick to pull the piston out. The same pick will work for removing and installing the o-rings. Just be careful not to poke them.

I found this video after looking at a Facebook marketplace. Add where a 7.3 needed. Injectors. Could have left in the first few minutes, but stayed to the very end. This looks like a lot of fun. Glad you got your truck going again. Cheers!

I'm doing this job for the first time and starting on my second injector after watching someone else's instructional video but you both put them back together oriented differently then you took them apart.... I'm not sure if I should take the first one back out and swap it or continue assembly the way you show 😥

@@mattm3492 You could have just said, show me. But instead you want to act like a clown. So answer me this, at 6:56 in video when you lift off the plate, the drainback notch in the base is opposite the clamp "flat side" you refer to it as. Which is the direction of the connector, the top side, which makes sense because that's the bottom. But at 35:30 in the video, you line them all up with drain back notch at the top.
