What is an injector sleeve?

The diesel injector sleeve (a.k.a. fuel injector sleeve) seals and protects the injector in the cylinder head, separating the fuel system from the cooling circuit.

What causes injector cups to fail?

heating cycles will cause the Loc-Tite to degrade and lose its’ sealing properties…but they are usually ‘good’ for a couple hundred thousand miles. OVER-heating (run out of coolant & overheat the cyl head) is another way to cause the cup/sealant to fail…as well as just normal metal fatigue.

How do I know if my injector 7.3 is bad?
