Hey everyone, Im in the middle of replacing my fuel injectors and I cant get them to fit back into place into the intake. Do I just need to push harder? I sprayed a little WD40 on the orings. Which side is better to install them on first, the manifold side or the fuel rail side?

Thanks everyone

 

anyone?

 

Here is what the FSM says:

INSTALLATION

(1) Install fuel injector(s) into fuel rail assembly
and install retaining clip(s).
(2) If same injector(s) is being reinstalled, install
new o-ring(s).
(3) Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to
each injector o-ring. This will aid in installation.
(4) Install fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Rail Installation
in this section.

(5) Start engine and check for fuel leaks.

 

Use a bit of vaseline on the orings.

I always install the injectors to the fuel rail first, then firmly push the assembly into the intake from the center out towards the ends.

 

i dont think wd40 is good for them at all (drys them out). when i upgraded mine, i used a bit of ATF, but vaseline works also. I put mine into the rail first (hard to do with the new orings) and then firmly pressed all 6 into the intake, wiggled them a bit to make sure they were seated properly and then put the bolts back in and hooked the wires up.

hope this helps

 

A little late to the party but if any part of the o-ring rips off, pull the injector and replace the o-ring. Hard lesson learned by me.

 

thanks for the help guys! i got them on and they dont leak
