This KIT can get your Injectors Armature Clearance to what they were when new of .004" to .005" any time. Even when stock injectors have some of them that have been replaced with newer Injectors or have been rebuilt.
This kit will make your truck start faster cold and run with more power and EXTEND the life of your injectors up to 200K miles more; by renewing the armature plate clearance to .004" to,005". like new injectors. WITHOUT REMOVING YOUR INJECTORS. Over 3000 kits sold. This Dual purpose kit will allow you to shim one set of Injector no mater what your Armature clearances are
FROM INSTRUCTIONS
If You have a tight .002” or less then add a .004” Armature Shim and then add a .005” Solenoid shim. (.002” & .003”).
If you have a loose .002” or above add a .002” Armature Shim and .003” Solenoid Shim.
If your truck has been RUNING GREAT warm but, has STARTED MISSING OR is HARD TO START: You may not need to rebuild your injectors . You may only need to install THIS Shim Kit, because you may have LOW ARMATURE TO ADAPTER HOUSING CLEARANCE causing a stiction affect. THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS CAUSING INJECTORS TO STOP WORKING!!!
My Kits are made in the USA with 20 years of experience Shimming and Working on my fleet of Power Strokes and shipped in the USA ( Other Sellers' are just China Knock-offs of my shim kit with hard to read photo copies of my instructions and are from China (They do not pay US Taxes) without .002"armature shims and have the wrong tools to install shims and weaker China Hardware screws. Theirs are shipped to the USA with Smart Post E-Commerce Shipping from China
Shims make your injectors last longer. So you want to shim what it takes to get over a .004" clearance under the armature. New they are over .004"and under .005" But, you must put the same amount of shims (plus .001" for poppet valve up-stop wear) under the solenoids to keep the armature from hitting the solenoids.
The important clearance is between the solenoid and the armature plate when the solenoid is energized. The clearance Must be keep close to .003" (between the solenoid and the Armature) plus or minus .001" to work right: which is hard to measure without energizing the solenoid. When new they were .003".
Most injectors do not need internal rebuild
KIT COMES WITH:
1. Packets of TEN+ .004" and TEN+ .002" (one required per injector) special stainless steel washers. TO BE INSTALLED UNDER THE ARMATURE PLATE TO INCREASE THE CLEARANCE BACK .004" to .005" ( like new injectors )
2. Packets of FOURTY + .002" and FOURTY +.003" stainless steel SOLENOID SPACER SHIMS, placed under all four corners of the solenoid, to increase the Solenoid to armature clearance back to over stock, when Solenoid is energized. To keep the armature plate from hitting the Solenoid and setting a code after shimming. WHEN YOU SHIM THE ARMATURE .004", YOU NEED TO SHIM THE SOLENOID WITH .005" OF SHIMS WHICH IS .001" OVER WHAT YOU INSTALLED UNDER THE ARMATURE BECAUSE OF POPPET VALVE UP WEAR..
3. TEN ( 10 ) DIPACO Part #DPS0010 HARDENED SCREWS (Made in Italy for OEM Injectors) with T10 Torx heads to UPDATE your old weaker OEM security stock screws.
4. FIVE TOOLS; (A) Special German IP Torx to remove Solenoid Screws, (Do not use T-10 or T15 Torx) (B) TWO Special reverse TORX PLUS MAXX to remove stock armature security screws (C) A T10 Torx to install new DIPACO screw and (D) A SPECIAL EZ OUT TO REMOVE AND REUSE ANY STRIPED OUT SOLENOID SCREWS when someone used THE WRONG TORX
5. TWO 1/4" X 3" Magnetic BIT HOLDER to make it easier to remove ARMATURE AND SOLENOID SCREWS in TRUCK. USE IT WITH 1/4" BOX END WRENCH
6. TWO FEELER GAUGES .002' , .004" To check clearances.
7. STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS WITH HIGH quality COLOR PICTURES to install .002" and .004" SHIMS, and INSTALL SOLENOID SPACER SHIMS and tips on thing to check with the valve cover off.
8. STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS to remove valve covers to install shims and reassemble
I am a 76+ year old mechanic that has worked on a fleet of 7.3 Power Strokes for the last 23+ years. I want to help the do-it-your-self person keep their trucks running by sharing the knowledge I have learned over 50 years experience. My instructions are written from my experience of working on trucks and adding shims to many trucks.
