I have an 04 with the first 03 6.0. I am replacing a injector & I think acouple of the o ring on the oil rail are shoot. I made a tool & pulled them apart.

So what I am wondering is: I ran up to napa auto part & ask them if the o ring in the high pressure oil rail where a specialo ring. They didnt know. So I picked up 4 new o ring but before I go & put them I wanted to find out if the were a special o ring or what? I mean I dont want to have to pull it back apart again

Thanks for any help

 

IMO Orings are very hard to get the exact one

I have tried in past an oring that looks close but No Way didnt work

Best bet is to go to Ford and get the right ones or make shure you get the specific ones for your application

so Are orings in the top injectors where the oil rail goes or have you talken the ones that go into the Braided Hose and standpipes

On thing I just thought of is you can run it with the valve covers OFF so you could see if the ones you already have work or not

 

Technically there are no oil rail o-rings in an 03/log rail style motor. There are D-rings in the top of the injectors. You can get them here: Industrial Diesel Engine Replacement Parts Dealer, Aftermarket Rebuild & Overhaul Kit Systems Supplier The kit your are looking for is AP0002.

 

I have the log style oil rails & I am sure you guys know more then I do about these motor but there are 4 o rings in the oil rails. they go in the oil rail behind the nippes that go in to the top of the injector. I found a set at Moonlight diesel

I am confused.The o-d ring should be in the injector.Bismic you got a pic handy?I thought we had something in the tech folder.I couldn't find it but WOW that is a kick azz tech folder now days.

 

Could some one rep this man for me!

 

got him.

 

to the OP, maybe u should take some pics and post them up here for everyone to see, so everybody will be on the same page when determining certain things.

 

I understand what you're talking about now. I didn't even know those nipples were removable or that o-rings for them were available. I'll add this to my learned something new today.

FWIW--those have never been a problem AFAIK.

 

RiffRaffDiesel also sells this kit!

 

It actually has to be purchased from an Alliant dealer IIRC anyway, so another reason to use RiffRaff but the OP wants the o-rings where the oil rail nipples are inserted into the log rail if I read it correctly. I wonder if Clay has those???

 

Riffraff Diesel: Alliant 6.0L Injector O-rings 03-07

 

Ya if you look at where the nipples from the bootpm of the oil rail you will see where you can put a custom tool to turn the inside nut. On the bottom of the nipple is a o ring

 

No thats not what I was looking for. The o ring I was talking about has nothing to do with the injector itself. They have the o rings at moonlight diesel. But what I have been trying to find out is if those o ring are a special o ring or a they just a reg o ring

I would get the specific o-ring. Ask John Irwin what happens when you get sent the wrong thing. You end up doing it twice IF you don't end up with a catastrophic failure. Is it really worth the little difference in price and time?
