Rosewood Injectors
I got the call from Jim, he has my injectors done. He said they were in really good shape. The only one that Jim questioned was the one I bought from a local guy last summer when he (the local guy) told me I had a bad one. I just wanted to say what everyone on here already knows. Jim is a great guy to deal with. I shipped my Injectors to him on Monday, he got them Wednesday and called me Thursday to tell me they were done. Thats great service!
I cant wait to get them back in the truck and

The DIY kit is what I did. Quick delivery too. Easily did most of it in and afternoon. I had to stop and get parts as I broke one of the oil diverter things when removing the injectors. Otherwise I'd have been done that same afternoon. Luckily it was only a couple bucks and the local stealership had some in stock. My garage has a dirt floor and no doors either and it was early January 2 years ago. Did the actual injector rebuild in the house though. First one took half and hour, the others each took about 5 minutes.
I got the premachined pistons. If I'd known how easy it would have been and remembered that we have a master machinist at work who'd have machined them for nothing, I'd have just done that.

Surface grinder is the weapon of choice. I believe they need about .100 shaved off them but they are a precise piece of steel.

Sounds like you should use an endmill to me and just knock it down.
You could machine that off really simply.
Might have to make something to hold them good though. Woudln't want accidently moving around.

Its not a good idea to clamp something that has a tolerance of .0005 or is it .00005. Magnetic base and slow and steady I would imagine. Jim would be the guy to ask though. He's the expert!

I'm with you Ron, I work out of my truck so I cant be down a week either. Guess I have to do the DIY's. Anyone who has info that has done them, it's much appreciated.

Doesn't he have the option that you can purchase a set then mail him your cores? Your truck would only be down the removal and installation time. Of course, that is if you can spare the core $$.

Surface Grinders are made to machine very hard materials to very precise specs. It's messy and takes a while, but dead-nuts accurate. You could cut most of it off with a mill or lathe, then finish it off on a surface grinder. The shop that does mine use an EDM machine to burn most of it off, then clean-up on grinder.
