THE PROBLEM:

"My coolant degas bottle is full of diesel fuel!"

As the 6.0L engine ages a new problem has started to appear more frequently - diesel fuel in the cooling system caused by a crack in one of the cylinder heads. This crack appears in an internal cooling system passage in one of the cylinder heads adjacent to an injector bore. Because fuel pressure is greater than cooling system pressure, diesel fuel migrates into the cooling system. See the illustration below:

 

The traditional solution to this problem is, of course, to replace the cylinder head. This is a highly labor intense job which can easily cost as much as $4,000 or more.


THE SOLUTION:

We have teamed with an innovative local company to bring you a highly effective yet comparatively inexpensive solution to this problem which involves replacing the factory fuel injector sleeve with an extended sleeve which completely covers the cracked area and is cemented and sealed by a retaining compound. See the illustration below:

 

Because the replacement injector sleeve reduces the effective diameter of the injector bore, it is necessary to replace the lower injector body with a redesigned part that will fit into the new injector sleeve. The book time to replace a single 6.0L injector is 1.6 hours. Once the leaking injector bore is identified, it should require less than 1 additional hour to complete the repair. No special skills are required. Unlike other methods of attempting to repair this problem, the results are not highly dependent on the skill of the installer. Anyone who is comfortable changing a 6.0L injector should be able to effectively complete this repair. We believe our repair method is superior to simply filling the crack with a sealing material, because the extended sleeve completely seals the cracked area so that even as the crack grows a leak should never reoccur.

What does the kit include?

Each 6.0L Head Repair Kit includes an extended repair sleeve, a tube of Loctite sleeve retaining compound, a new lower injector body, and an injector seal kit. This listing also includes the 6.0L Injector Holding Fixture which is necessary for changing the lower injector body.

What else do I need?

In order to remove the old injector sleeve, and install the new one, you will need a 6.0L injector sleeve remover / installer tool set. Please see our Ebay Store for this item. We also have a limited number of these tools available for rental with the purchase of a head repair kit only. You will also need an injector holding fixture in order to replace the lower injector body (included in this listing). If you have done this repair before on another vehicle  and already have an injector holding fixture, please click HERE to locate a listing without the injector holding fixture

Terms and Conditions:

- PLEASE READ -


We strive to provide "100%" customer satisfaction by offering the best combination of quality, price, speed, and service that you will find anywhere on or off Ebay. We value your patronage.

Domestic Shipping
We strive to ship all orders within 24 hours on business days (holiday periods excluded). If a delay occurs that is longer than would normally be considered commercially acceptable, we will attempt to contact you. Please be aware that time zones and scheduling may not allow same-day shipping in some cases. If a shipment is especially urgent, please contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs - next day options may be available.. In addition to allowing at least 24 hours for shipment, please allow 2 - 3 days for Priority mail, 1 - 2 days for Express mail, and 1 - 5 days for UPS. Shipping costs are available to you through Ebay before bidding. If you do not find the shipping cost acceptable, please do not bid. We also think shipping cost are high - but unfortunately, cannot control them. Giving us a low rating because of shipping costs is unkind and does not benefit anyone.
As per Ebay policy, we will ship to your registered Paypal address only. Please make any needed address changes with Paypal before purchasing.

International Orders:
When placing an order from outside the USA, please use caution when selecting your shipping option. First class mail is an economy service and may take 30 days or more in some instances. First class mail is also not trackable. Priority mail International averages 7 - 10 days, and Express 3 - 5 days. These times will vary by country and can be longer if there are customs delays.
We are a legitimate business and will NOT falsify customs documents - please do not ask.

Returns
Each item in our Ebay store has its own return policy. Please take a moment to read it. With rare exceptions in case of a gross error on our part, shipping costs (either original or return) are NOT refundable. (Local auto parts stores will not pay your travel costs to return a part either.)
Shipping costs will be deducted from refunds on "free shipping" items.

Applications
We guarantee our parts to be as described by part number, picture, and verbiage. While we do our best, vehicle applications, however, simply cannot be guaranteed. In most cases, we do not generate application lists. It is the nature of the auto parts business that, in rare cases, a part will not be correct for a certain vehicle even though it "should" fit. This may occur because of errors on application lists, mid-year production changes, changes to the vehicle since it was built, the fact that a car was not built for the US market, etc. It is the buyer's final responsibility to visually verify that the part they are purchasing is correct for their vehicle. If a part does not fit your vehicle, this does not mean the part is "not as described."

Payment
We accept Paypal as well as all major credit card directly through Ebay. If you need other payment options, please contact us.

Feedback
If you have a problem with an item purchased from us, please let us know before leaving feedback and we will work toward an equitable resolution. We really appreciate 5 star seller ratings in every category – if we can do something to improve toward meeting this goal, please let us know - we do value customer input. If you are prone to hostility in the event of a problem, please do not purchase here. Problems can be solved much more easily when civility is kept intact.

Warranty
All of our products are covered by a warranty. Please see details in each individual listing for length and terms as well as the warranty statement on our website. Warranty covers parts only. We do not warranty labor unless specifically stated. In absolutely no case will there be any warranty for loss of use, towing, incidental or consequential damages, etc.
