IP change tools
I am going to be changing my IP and injectors soon. I have seen that I need a 12 point socket and a cut off wrench.
What size 12 point socket is needed and what size and how long do I make the wrench?

Not sure what the 12 point socket is for. The injectors are 6 point. I don't recall the size. For the IP. It is possible to get to all three nuts with some 9/16th combo wrenches, but It is a lot easier to do it if you make one. Here are some pix of mine.
The length is not as important as the bend and the grinding. I can get to all three nuts with this wrench without removing anything from the motor at all. It makes timing adjustments a breeze. Now is a good time to test and replace GP's too.
Good luck,
Mac.
