The injector copper sleeve in the Volvo TAD734GE engine seals the injector against the cylinder head to prevent combustion gases and coolant from leaking.
Removal: To remove the injector sleeve, first remove the injector. Then use a special puller tool to extract the sleeve from the cylinder head.
Replacement: Replace the sleeve if it is damaged, leaking, or if a new injector does not seal properly. Always ensure the sealing washers are also removed and replaced.
