LB7 injector lines

[MaxSmoke]

Has anyone used the dorman fuel lines? Found a new set of them for $300ish. Wondering how they fit and if they are worth the money. Cheaper than new ones for $800ish but if they suck I dont wanna go that route. Just getting ready to do my injectors so have no idea if I will need new lines or not.
Thanks!

Soak your old ones in gas. My cousin does that on his injector jobs he gets in the garage. Cleans em right up. :thumb:

Really? cleans the rust out of the lower nut too?

 

[millerman04]

That's what he said. He's done 3 sets now. Lets them soak a few days. Says it cleans a lot of the crap off.

Interesting.

I'm sure its not the right way of doing it, but its a little cheaper than a soda blaster I guess.

Not a bad idea, I've always used CLR, soak em for a few hours and inspect them after you pull them out. And whatever you do, TORQUE the line nuts. If you snug them to where they feel good and tight they'll leak, garuntee you'll get another small turn out of them while torquing.

I've got a set I could send your way and you could let them soak and clean up before tearing into your motor?

We sell the New lines for a very reasonable price, as well as the injectors if you are looking.

Thanks for the offer!!! I would take you up on it but the truck is not my dd so don't care if it has to sit for a while. I have a killer hook up on Bosch remans from one of my buddies. I'll have to try the gas truck and see how well it really does work and let you guys know.

We will beat any price on the market as long it's like for like product.

I soaked my hard lines in kerosene this weekend. It seemed to work great. Liquid was black after we pulled em out of the bucket.

Just clr'ed mine today. Look amazing, I let them soak for about 18hrs blew air threw them and hit them with brake cleaner. Sprayed pb on them afterwards since I won't be installing them for a month.

I use an ultrasonic cleaner, takes about an hour for a set of 8

I would love an ultrasonic cleaner

I ended up using some crazy stuff I found called evapo-rust. Not usually one to sell a product but this stuff works amazing. Put the lines in a metal coffee can and set that on a hot plate I have. About an hour they looked like new. Was going to take them to work and dip them in the ultrasonic but didn't feel the need to.
