    WARNING:

    The fuel injector seals must fit properly in the relative groove. Overlapping of the fuel injector seals with the external surface of the injector must be avoided. If the seals are installed incorrectly, it could cause leaks and risk of injury.

  18. Check the combustion fuel injector seals (2 seals each fuel injector) for correct seat:
    • The seal must not be too large, buckled or corrugated (1).
    • The seal must be fixed tight and accurate (2).
  19. If the seals are installed not correctly, repeat the steps 27 - 29 of the removal procedure and the steps 1 - 19 of the installation procedure.
