Team,
can someone lend me this piece (or let me know if there's an easy way to procure it) - I need the hex tool to remove the pre combustion chambers from the J-series cylinder head. The machinist says we need to plane the head so we need to pull the chambers.
I'll pay all shipping etc.
Cheers,
Neil

Hi Lance,
Neil is looking for the tool to extract the precombustion chambers and I think what you refer to is making a tool to remove the injectors...

Neil, I'm afraid I can't help you, if I had one of these, the postage from the UK would be very expensive also.
Best Regards, John

Thought we've been through this before....Just make one up using a 7/8" grade 8 bolt (1-5/16" head) with a few stacked nuts welded together.

That's what I'm going to do but the reason I asked is I'd prefer to use the tool if it was easily available. Have ordered a 2 1/2" long coupling nut and a grade 8 capscrew. I think the nut may even be long enough by itself because with the lower edge even with the lower edge of the hex inside the chamber, the nut will protrude 1", which "should" be enough for a socket and rattle gun

$45.00 for a grade 8 coupling nut seems a little rich to me.

Here is the tool I made. I ended up having to pull the head as the injectors & precups were TIGHT in there! Heads on the ground, still have 1 injector & 2 precups in it. I ended up rounding the edge of the nut on the tool and the internal teeth inside of # 2 precup before pulling head. Motor was pressurizing the cooling system. #2 & 3 holes look like this. I'm afraid this head may be cracked.

I'm going to have the machinist put the chambers through a heat/cool cycle just to loosen things up and then spray some Kroil on it and scrape any thread that protrudes as this head is gold - I've ordered new guides, seats, valves, springs, keepers, I'll check the chambers once they're out to see if I want to swap them out too - probably will, then the head will be like new

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
