Fuel Rails & Injectors: Installation

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
