Fuel Rail: Installation
-
NOTE: Use care when removing the lower Teflon® seals, not to scratch, nick or gouge the fuel injectors.NOTE: Do not attempt to cut the lower Teflon® seal without first pulling it away from the fuel injector or damage to the injector may occur.
- Pull the lower Teflon® seal away from the injector.
- Carefully cut and discard the lower fuel injector Teflon® seals.
-
NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon® fuel injector seals.
- Install the Arbor (part of the Fuel Injector Seal Installer) on the fuel injector tips. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.
-
NOTE: Once the Teflon® seal is installed on the Teflon® Seal Guide, it should immediately be installed onto the fuel injector to avoid excessive expansion of the Teflon® seal.NOTE: Make sure that new lower fuel injector Teflon® seals are installed.
Install the new Teflon® seals onto the Arbor, using the Pusher Tool (part of the Fuel Injector Seal Installer), slide the Teflon® seals along the Arbor.
- Using the Pusher Tool, slide the Teflon® seals off of the Teflon® Seal Guide and into the groove on the fuel injectors. Use Special Service Tool: 310-207 Installer, Fuel Injector Seal Assembly.
- Remove the special tools.
-
NOTE: Install the fuel injectors into the cylinder head within 15 minutes of sizing the seals due to Teflon® seal expansion.NOTE: Make sure the Teflon® seal is fully seated in the groove on the fuel injector before sizing the Teflon® seal.
- Some Teflon® seal massaging with your fingers before the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed will aid in installing the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
- Position the Teflon® seal sizer tool with the larger opening towards the Teflon® seal. Push while turning the Teflon® seal sizer tool 180 degrees. Use Special Service Tool: 303-1567 Sizer, Teflon Seal.
- Once the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed, check and make sure the Teflon® seal is in the sizing portion of the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
- After one minute, turn the Teflon® seal sizer tool back 180 degrees and remove.
-
NOTE: The new the fuel injector support rings must be installed in the correct orientation with the wide surface area facing up against the fuel injector O-ring seals. Improperly installed support rings may cause the fuel system to leak.NOTE: Use fuel injector O-ring seals that are made of special fuel-resistant material. The use of ordinary O-ring seals may cause the fuel system to leak. Do not reuse the O-ring seals.NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon® fuel injector seals.
- Install the new the fuel injector support rings.
- Install the new fuel injector O-ring seals and lubricate with clean engine oil.
- Install the new the fuel injector clips.
-
NOTE: The anti-rotation finger of the fuel injector clip must slip into the groove of the fuel rail cup.
Install the fuel injectors into the fuel rails.
-
NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon® fuel injector seals.
Install the fuel rail, push down on the fuel rail above the injectors. Install and tighten the fuel rail bolts in the sequence shown.
Torque: Stage 1: 177 lb.in (20 Nm) | Stage 2: 45°
-
- Connect the fuel injector electrical connectors.
- Connect FRP sensor electrical connector.
-
- Install the fuel rail insulator.
- Attach the fuel charge wiring harness retainers to the fuel rail.
-
-
NOTE: Make sure that a new component is installed.NOTE: Install all the nuts and bolts finger tight before final tightening.NOTE: Calculate the correct torque wrench setting for the following torque using the Torque Wrench Adapter Formulas in the chart below.
Position the high-pressure fuel tube.
Torque: Stage 1: 89 lb.in (10 Nm) | Stage 2: 30°
- Tighten the high-pressure fuel tube bracket bolts.
Torque: 97 lb.in (11 Nm)
- Attach the wiring harness retainer to the fuel tube bracket.
-
-
NOTE: When removing or installing the fuel injection pump noise insulator, spreading the openings will reduce the risk of damage.
Install the fuel injection pump noise insulator.
- Install the intake manifold. Refer to: Intake Manifold .
- Connect the battery. Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect .
