Advice on Dexta injector seal kit ?

Post by jwhiteker »

I have a 3 cyl. Dexta diesel. One of the injectors is pumping diesel fuel onto the outside of the engine. I assume that I need to replace seals that go from the injectors into the head? I'm having trouble finding a seal kit offered online. Does anyone have a recommendation of somewhere I can order them? And is this probably what I need, or am I over simplifying a more serious problem? I don't have hardly any white smoke and the tractor runs well, so I hadn't planned on tearing injectors apart, only sealing off this external leak.

If you are referring to the copper washer that fits under each injector, this is what I use:

Alternatively you could just heat up your old washer to cherry red and let it cool. This will anneal (soften) it so it seals better when you tighten down the injector. :wink:
