Flat reamer kit suggestions?

Mountainman · **Posted:** Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:22 pm

I think anyone pulling the injectors for any reason will find a flat reamer to be a huge time and back saver. Anyone know a good kit, or part number for one that is long enough (I'm seeing plenty out of Hong Kong that might work, but no length listed)? I guess I don't need a kit, but if it's cheap, why not?

Also, should help with leaks passed the crush washer...

17mm right?

Thanks to those who pioneered this venture!

usually , in this kit there are 2 flats 17 and 17x 19 step shoulder you can use either , i use 17 x 19 because washer is 17 and upper portion of injector cup is 19mm step size cup ok so thats why 17 x 19 step shoulder is better to use fits snug and not loose inside the cup , it jams up for first 2 turns but it goes only clockwise , keep turning don't turn backward , i say order one on line, tool is good and very cheap , its 100% guaranty no more carbon up there or ceased injectors. The place i bought mine does no sell it anymore. So i don't know the part number.

Thanks Rankom! Could you tell me how long your reamers are? I'm just afraid of ordering a set and not having the right thing. I mean, it's a ways down in the head.

Will this work????
Found this on eBay for 27 bucks and some change, and free shipping.
looks like what we need??? Has several different size reamers including the 17mm... Think I will order a set just to have on hand if you think it will work ....

Looks just like the one I have, and it works great.

I used a flat reamer made for reaming bathtub valve sealing surfaces. I first chucked the reamer into a drill and used light pressure and oil, and then cut disks of Scotch brite with a hole punch kit, and spun these with the reamer face via the drill to get the final finish on the washer sealing surface on the head. This worked well as I have no discernable leaks.

cool, thanks for posting fellas! I wonder why the factory ones leak so bad? I'm going to try a retorque or two on mine.

yeah that is the tool i have , one thing i should mention , don't use t handle , turned it with 1\2 rachet and use socket easier to push it and control turning speed .

Cool, I'm off to Ebay, more tools! :rockon:

Just ordered my set off eBay! Can never have too many tools, and for 27 bucks and some change, just in case I may need one of them in the future.... :ROTFL:

These are also available on Amazon. I think I'll order a set.

For the record I've always had good luck cleaning the seats with acetone and paper towel, and then using new crush washers. Sure is a lot of gunk to get outta there.
