Fuel Rails & Injectors: Installation
- Install NEW upper and lower fuel pressure pulsation damper gaskets. Install NEW "O" rings, insulators and grommets on injectors. Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to fuel injector "O" rings. Using a twisting motion, push injectors into fuel rail. Ensure injectors are fully seated in fuel rail. Ensure fuel injector connectors are positioned outward.
- Install 4 spacers in position on intake manifold. Place injectors and fuel rail assembly on to intake manifold. Temporarily install fuel rail-to-intake manifold nuts.
- Ensure injectors rotate smoothly. If injectors do not rotate smoothly, "O" rings were installed incorrectly and may be pinched. Replace "O" rings. Position injector connectors outward. Tighten fuel rail-to-intake manifold nuts. Connect injector connectors.
- To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten fuel rail mounting bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Fill cooling system. Start engine and inspect for fuel and coolant leaks.
