Fuel Rail: Installation

  1. 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.

  2. NOTE: Do not lubricate the new lower Teflon® fuel injector seals.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    3. 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.
    4. Remove the special tools.

  3. 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.

    1. Some Teflon® seal massaging with your fingers before the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed will aid in installing the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. After one minute, turn the Teflon® seal sizer tool back 180 degrees and remove.

  4. 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.

    1. Install the new the fuel injector support rings.
    2. Install the new fuel injector O-ring seals and lubricate with clean engine oil.
    3. Install the new the fuel injector clips.
