Here are some assembly hints for the IHC 466 engine.

Here are some assembly hints for the IHC 466 engine. Most are per manufacturer information. They ensure trouble-free, efficient assembly.

• To unhook the injector harness from the valve cover/intake manifold, don't use tools to pry on it. Just squeeze the sides and pull.
• To release the injector harness pass-through from the valve cover, use a 1 3/16, 12 pt socket. Just unhook the harness, put the socket over the pass-through and push.
• If the plastic sediment bowl behind the fuel filter is too tight to remove by hand, use a 1 1/4, 12 pt box wrench.
• Don't install the vibration dampener by pulling it on with bolts. Just warm up the center of the hub to about 250 degrees F and it will slide right on the crank nose.
• After an in-frame, injector change, or anything else that drains the high pressure oil system, leave the injector harness unplugged. Crank the engine until you get oil pressure, wait a minute, then crank twice more and connect the harness. This will get oil back into the rail, make fuel pressure, and the engine will start right up. Injectors can be damaged if they fire dry.
• Try a Lisle wrinkle-band piston ring compressor. I haven't found anything that works quite as well. It is very easy to use and inexpensive.
