Anyone know the torque values for changing the injectors and also the glow plugs? I was planning on using anti-seize, yes or no and how much will it affect torque numbers.

Thanks , Eddie

50 ft. lbs for the injectors, and yes use antiseize on the threads (but sparingly, a little goes a long ways).

I always do the glow plugs by the torque wrench in my hand. I use a rachet no larger than 1/4" drive and a 10mm or 3/8" socket, just don't do too much.

The antiseeze will change the torque value. It is a different % for all the different types. You should be able to look it up in a machinist handbook. OR just torque them to 50ft/lb and be done with it! ;-) Make sure you use new crush washers... For the glows I always use a copper based antiseeze as it helps conduct electricity.
