The old gasket 376-2628 has been reworked and replaced with 452-8519. The new style gasket will
have the raised center portion of the gasket removed (Figure 1).
Repair Procedure
Background
A plugged HC injector port will result in improper or frequent aftertreatment regenerations (regens).
If the AFI port is plugged use this procedure and the C11 and C13 Engine Service Manual or the C15
Engine Service Manual for additional reference.
Procedure
1. Remove fuel and coolant lines to the HC Injector.
2. Remove the HC Injector from the exhaust brake housing (CT 11 & 13 - exhaust back pressure
assembly; CT 15 - turbocharger exhaust duct).
Note: The HC Injector needle at the tip of the valve is sensitive to damage, set it aside in a safe
location. IT WILL NOT BE CLEANED OR SERVICED
3. Discard the gasket and two M8 x 45 bolts.
4. Disconnect and remove clamp from the exhaust system from the exhaust brake housing
assembly.
Note: Take measures to have sufficient space between the housing and exhaust system so
debris can be removed.

5. Remove the carbon plugging with a chisel or other appropriate tool.
6. Remove the carbon debris from the exhaust brake housing (A shop vacume can be used).
Note: Any remaining chunks of carbon debris may damage the aftertreatment system or cause
plugging of the PDOC / DOC / DPF.
7. Install the original HC Injector with new gasket and new bolts per the C11 and C13 Service
Manual or C15 Engine Service Manual.
8. Re-install the rest of the exhaust system.
9. Use Engine Diagnostics to perform On Board Filter Cleanliness Test (OBFCT).
Note: If the test is successful/complete and original complaint is resolved, release the unit into
service.
Below are photos of a partially plugged port (fig 2), a completely plugged doser (fig 3) and a clear
port (fig 4)
