Ok, I created a little boost leak tester and I found out where my big ass leak is coming from. I will explain the best I can.

It is on the number 4 injector fitting to the manifold. The first three injectors are properly sitting in the rubber groments placed in the manifold(its a Top speed mani/greddy/whatever), but the fourth is sitting out of it about a little less than a 1/4 inch. I cannot tell if I have a bent fuel rail and whether or not I should even attempt to bend that injector into place. I dont know if I need a new fuel rail, I cannot need a new injector.. I already replaced that little O gromment that the injector fits into the manifold, hoping that was a reason, but no go. If you need any more info on my situation I can give it.




Notice how the number 4 injector is sticking out of the grommet quite a bit. How should I go about fixing this? Need help asap please!!

 

If you're careful, you can probably bend the rail in a vise. It's just mild steel. The hack fix would be to wrap the injector rail flange at the bottom with teflon tape...

 

alright, ill try the vise...::crosses fingers::

 

so the rail is bent and the casting is good right?

 

Well I bent 4 injector a tad bit, and it seemed to take the leak down a notch, but it still leaks out of the back of the fitting. the injector is in place fine with the rail. It is where it actually snugs into the manifold is the problem. I bent it as much as I can without messing up the angle of all of the other injectors. So should I result to rigging it with some teflon tape? Or should I just buy a fuel rail?

 

that fuel rail has three boltsw holding it down theres one in the very back,did you put that one back right cause it needs to slip over the sud,and then you need to put the other bolts on .i just cutt he rear hold down off.

 

or where the bolts secure them into the manifold, u could try grinding that down some on that side to try to get it down further.

 

the rail touches the manifold. The bolts go all the way in....Time for a new rail? Also I think its time for a new starter

 

hey cliff, my brother still has his SR fuel rail. if u want i can see if he can pull his 600cc injectors out and maybe sell you the rail. if u need one. or PM cyanide.

 

Are you using the little black phenolic spacers that go under the rail bolts?
