C. Install scrap or dummy injectors to
ensure proper seating of the injector
tubes. Dummy injectors may be made
from oil injector nuts and bodies; the
injector spray tips are not necessary.
Tighten the injector clamp to 20-25
lb-ft (27-34 Nm) torque.
D. Apply 40 psi (276 kPa) air pressure
to the water jacket. Then immerse
the cylinder head in a tank of water,
previously heated to 180-2OOF
(82-93C), for about twenty minutes
to thoroughly heat the head. Ob-
