vehicles equipped with the Ford
6.0 liter Power Stroke diesel can develop a hard start
or no start condition because of a leak in the fuel injection
high pressure oil system. The most common cause of leakage in the high pressure oil system
is a worn or damaged ball tube O-ring
In the past the remedy for this problem was to purchase a new oil rail
from the vehicle manufacturer
but now Cardone's repair kit and tool
allows you to remove the ball tube retaining nut so that the ball tube
and damaged O-ring can be replaced without replacing the
expensive oil rail assembly. The repair kit includes a complete set a new ball tubes
and O-rings
and can be installed using our ball tube removal tool. Before changing your
O-rings and ball tubes
take a moment to watch our installation process. Remove the high-pressure
oil rail following service manual procedures. Using the ball tube removal tool
remove the ball tube retaining nut and then remove the ball tube
and O-ring. Clean the pocket and opening seat
the seat must be completely free of debris
or imperfections to ensure the full expected service life
of the O-ring. Lubricate the new ball tube
and supplied O-ring with clean engine oil
install the O-ring into the a O-ring seat in the oil rail
install the new ball tube and retaining nut
using a torque wrench tighten the retaining
to 100 foot-pounds. Using the tool as a centering guide
center the ball tubes to prepare the oil rail for reinstallation onto the
engine
repeat this process for the remaining Ball tubes
and O-rings. Inspect the injector
upper O-ring. If the ball tube O-ring has failed
there is a good chance that the upper seal in the injector is damaged
inspect the upper seal for erosion or distortion
and replace as necessary. Finally
install the oil rail back on the engine as per the
O.E. manufacturer procedure. Complete the installation and testing
following the vehicle service manual and any supplied supplemental
instructions
