Cuting cylinders out on any diesel engine is simply what you do to find a dead cylinder. <br /> <br />On any high pressure system, crack a nut on an injector line. <br /> <br />On pre electronic Detroits, take a big flathead screwdriver, and while the engine is running, stick it between the rocker and the injector's tappet and crank down on it with your palm, holding the injector in a down position. <br /> <br />On other engines, there is a tool that looks like your hand making the victory sign and then curling your fingers, this fits over the rocker shaft, pushing it will then hold the injector in a down position. <br /> <br />My stepdad and my mom ran a machine tool rebuilding shop for about twenty years. They finally had to leave the business in the early nineties because there just wasn't any market anymore. <br /> <br />He did all hand scraping, but it is a very time consuming process.
