. Even when stock injectors have some of them that have been replaced with newer Injectors or have been rebuilt.
This kit will make your
truck start faster cold and run with more power
and EXTEND the life of your injectors up to 200K miles more; by renewing the armature plate clearance to .004″ to,005″. like new injectors.
WITHOUT REMOVING YOUR INJECTORS

This
Dual
purpose
kit
will allow you to shim one set of Injector no mater what your Armature clearances are
FROM INSTRUCTIONS
If You have a tight .002” or less then add a .004” Armature Shim and then add a .005” Solenoid shim. (
.002” & .003”
).
If you have a loose .002” or above add a .002” Armature Shim and .003” Solenoid Shim.
If your truck has been RUNING GREAT warm
but, has STARTED
MISSING
OR  is HARD TO START:
You may not need to rebuild your injectors .
You may only need to install THIS Shim Kit, because
you may have
LOW ARMATURE  TO ADAPTER HOUSING  CLEARANCE causing a
stiction affect
.
THIS IS THE  BIGGEST PROBLEMS CAUSING INJECTORS TO STOP WORKING!!!
My
Kits
are made in the USA  with 20 years of
experience Shimming and Working on my fleet of Power Strokes
and shipped in the USA
( Other Sellers’ are just China Knock-offs
of my shim kit with hard to read photo copies of  my instructions and are
from China
(
They do not pay US Taxes
)
without .002″armature shims and have the wrong tools to install shims and weaker China Hardware screws.

Shims  make your injectors last longer. So you want to shim what it takes to get over a .004″ clearance under the armature. New they are over .004″and under .005″
But, you must put the same amount of shims (plus .001″ for poppet valve up-stop wear) under the solenoids to keep the armature from hitting the solenoids.
The important clearance is between the solenoid and the armature plate when the solenoid is energized.
The clearance Must be keep close to .003″
(between the solenoid and the Armature) plus or minus .001″
to work right: w
hich is hard to measure without energizing the solenoid.
When new they were .003″.
Most injectors do not need internal rebuild
Kit Works  on most HEUI injectors; 1994 – 2003 Ford 7.3L PowerStroke,    International T444E / DT466e / 1530E . Also works on Cat 3126B top solenoid , International Perkins  4.5L, 6.0L, & 1300edi   HEUI injectors.
KIT  COMES WITH:
1.
Packets  of  TEN+  .004″ and TEN+ .002″ (one required per injector) special stainless steel washers.
TO BE INSTALLED UNDER THE ARMATURE PLATE TO INCREASE THE  CLEARANCE  BACK  .004″ to .005″ ( like new injectors )
2.
Packets  of  FOURTY + .002″ and FOURTY +.003″ stainless steel  SOLENOID SPACER SHIMS
, placed under all four corners of the solenoid, to increase the Solenoid to armature clearance back to over stock, when Solenoid is  energized. To keep the armature plate from hitting the Solenoid and setting a code after shimming.
WHEN YOU SHIM THE ARMATURE .004″, YOU NEED TO SHIM THE SOLENOID WITH .005″ OF SHIMS WHICH IS .001″ OVER WHAT YOU INSTALLED UNDER THE ARMATURE BECAUSE OF POPPET VALVE UP WEAR..

I  am a 76+ year old mechanic that has worked on a fleet of 7.3 Power Strokes for the last 23+ years. I want to help the do-it-your-self person keep their trucks running by sharing the knowledge I have learned over 50 years experience.  My instructions are written from my experience of working on trucks and adding shims to many trucks.
