FAQ

1. Is this injector sleeve a direct replacement for the Caterpillar part number 229-1490?

Yes, this product is manufactured to match the original OEM specifications for the 229-1490 part number. It is designed for a direct, bolt-in replacement on the Caterpillar C-9 engine. We always recommend comparing the part to your original component to confirm compatibility.

2. What is the correct installation procedure for this copper sleeve?

Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel mechanic. The cylinder head bore must be clean and free of debris. The sleeve is typically installed using a specialized driver tool to press it into the cylinder head to the correct depth. It is critical to ensure the sleeve is not over-inserted, as this can affect injector protrusion. Using a new O-ring (sold separately) is also recommended.

3. Can I use this sleeve on a Caterpillar C-9 engine that has been rebuilt or modified?

This sleeve is designed for standard OEM cylinder head specifications. If your engine has been modified (e.g., oversized injectors or ported head), this standard size sleeve may not be suitable. We advise measuring the bore diameter of your cylinder head before purchasing. For standard rebuilds, this part is an ideal replacement.
