CAUTION:Refer to Fastener Caution .
- Ensure the fuel rail assembly and fuel injector bores have been cleaned prior to installation.
- Carefully install the fuel rail assembly (1).
- Push the fuel injectors slightly in their seats.
- Tighten the 4 lower fuel rail bolts in increments of 1 turn until they are seated.
- Tighten the 4 lower fuel rail bolts in sequence to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Tighten the 4 upper fuel rail bolts in sequence to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
NOTE:
During the installation of the fuel rail and injector assembly, ensure that the fuel injectors are positioned straight into the injector opening. Failure to follow this caution can tilt or bend the injectors and could cause leaks or malfunction after installation.
