The ATC W936589033300 Injector Heat Protection Sleeve Tool Kit is a specialized service kit designed for the removal and installation of the copper heat protection sleeve used on Detroit Diesel DD5 fuel injectors.
On the DD5 engine, each injector is equipped with a copper heat protection sleeve that acts as a thermal barrier between the injector nozzle and the combustion chamber. This sleeve protects the injector from extreme combustion temperatures while maintaining proper injector seating and sealing within the cylinder head.
During injector replacement or cylinder head service, the heat protection sleeve should be inspected and replaced whenever it shows signs of wear, deformation, or heat damage. The W936589033300 kit provides the dedicated tools required to:
- Remove the existing copper heat protection sleeve from the cylinder head
- Install a new sleeve without distortion
- Protect the precision-machined injector bore
- Ensure the sleeve is seated squarely and at the proper depth
Unlike improvised punches or generic installation tools, this kit is engineered specifically for the DD5 sleeve geometry, minimizing the risk of damaging the cylinder head or deforming the replacement sleeve. Improper sleeve installation can lead to:
- Injector sealing problems
- Combustion gas leakage
- Excessive heat transfer to the injector
- Premature injector failure
- Costly repeat repairs
Detroit Diesel specifies dedicated tooling for this procedure because the copper sleeve is a precision component that directly affects injector performance and durability. The W936589033300 allows technicians to perform the repair safely, consistently, and to OEM standards.

Why It Matters
The copper heat protection sleeve is much more than a simple spacer—it insulates the injector from combustion heat while helping maintain proper injector positioning within the cylinder head.
A damaged or improperly installed sleeve can contribute to:
- Combustion gas blow-by
- Injector overheating
- Poor injector sealing
- Reduced injector service life
- Repeat cylinder head repairs
The W936589033300 ensures the sleeve is removed and installed correctly, protecting both the injector and the cylinder head while restoring proper combustion sealing.
