- Install seal ring to fuel injector using the following procedure:CAUTION:
- Handle seal ring with bare hands. Do not wear gloves.
- Do not apply engine oil to seal ring.
- Do not clean seal ring with solvent.
- Do not reuse seal ring
- Install Tool (A) onto fuel injector (1).
Tool number (A)
: KV10119720 (J-50364)
- Set seal ring (1) into Tool (A).CAUTION: Do not reuse seal ring.
Tool number (A)
: KV10119730 (J-50364)
- Using Tool, install seal ring (1) onto fuel injector as shown, above.CAUTION:
- Be careful that seal ring does not exceed the groove portion of fuel injector.
- Be sure to keep Tool straight while installing seal ring or seal ring may be damaged.
- Insert Tool (A) onto injector and rotate clockwise and counterclockwise by 90 deg. while pressing seal ring to fit it.
Tool number (A)
: KV10119710 (J-50364)
CAUTION: Be careful to a direction of the tool.NOTE: This operation is for compressing the seal ring to eliminate stretching of seal ring caused by installation and for preventing sticking when inserting injector into cylinder head.(B)

- Install O-ring and backup ring to fuel injector.CAUTION:
- Do not reuse O-ring and backup ring.
- Handle O-ring with bare hands. Do not wear gloves.
- Lubricate O-ring with new non-silicone engine oil.
- Do not allow engine oil to enter fuel passage ways.
- Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
- Check that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
- When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, do not insert it immediately into fuel tube.
- Insert new O-ring straight into fuel rail. Do not decenter or twist it.
- Always install the back up ring (1) in the right direction as shown, below.
- Install fuel injector (1) to fuel rail (2) using the following steps:
- Install fuel injector holder (5) to fuel injector.CAUTION:
- Do not reuse injector holder.
- Be careful to keep fuel injector holder from interfering with O-ring. If interference occurs, replace O-ring.
- Insert fuel injector into fuel rail with fuel injector holder attached.
- Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
- Insert so that protrusion (A) of fuel injector is aligned to cutout (B).
- Check that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
- Check that protrusions of fuel injectors and fuel rail are aligned with cutouts of clips after installation.

- Install fuel injector holder (5) to fuel injector.
- Install fuel rail and fuel injector assembly to cylinder head.
- Install fuel rail pressure sensor using the following procedure (if necessary):CAUTION:
- Do not use a fuel pressure sensor that has been dropped.
- Do not reuse fuel rail pressure sensor.
- Apply engine oil to the entire perimeter of the fuel pressure sensor threads.CAUTION: Check that fuel rail and fuel pressure sensor threads have no damage, foreign matter, or stains.
- Hand tighten fuel rail pressure sensor.
- Tighten fuel pressure sensor to the specified torque.
Fuel rail pressure sensor
: 10 N.m (1.0 kg-m, 7 ft-lb)
- Tighten fuel rail pressure sensor to the specified angle using Tool.CAUTION: Do not exceed 60 N.m (6.1 kg-m, 44 ft-lb) during final torquing of fuel rail pressure.
Angle
: 35 deg. +5 deg. /-0 deg.
Tool number
: KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)
- Install fuel feed tube using the following procedure:CAUTION:
- Do not reuse fuel feed tube.
- Observe the tightening order and the tightening torque.
- Apply clean engine oil to the inside of flare nut and seating surfaces.
- Install fuel feed tube and fuel feed tube bracket and hand tighten in the sequence shown, below.

CAUTION: When temporarily tightening flare nut, place pipe in the center of the nut inner diameter.NOTE: Should be no gap between fuel feed tube, fuel feed tube bracket and rear timing chain case. - Temporarily tighten fuel feed tube flare nuts to the specified torque in the sequence shown, above.
Flare nut
: 15 N.m (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
- Tighten fuel feed tube nuts to the specified torque in the sequence shown, above.NOTE: Repeat step twice.
Flare nut
: 36.0 N.m (3.7 kg-m, 27 ft-lb)
- Tighten fuel feed tube bracket to the specified torque in the sequence shown, above.
Bolt
: 13.5 N.m (1.4 kg-m, 10 ft-lb)
- Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.CAUTION: After checking for fuel leaks, maintain ten minutes of idling to bleed the fuel line.
