Fuel Rail: Installation

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

    1. Install the Teflon® Seal Guide onto the fuel injector tip. 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 Teflon® Seal Guide, using the Pusher Tool, slide the Teflon® seals along the Teflon® Seal Guide.

    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.

  2. NOTE: Make sure the Teflon® seal is fully seated in the groove on the fuel injector before sizing the Teflon® seal.

    1. Massage and warm the Teflon® seal with your fingers before the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed. This will aid in installing the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
    2. NOTE: The beveled opening of the Teflon® seal sizer tool goes away from the seal.

      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.

  3. NOTE: Make sure that new fuel injector support rings and new fuel injector O-ring seals are installed.

    1. 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.

      Install the new the fuel injector support rings.

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

      Install the new fuel injector O-rings.

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

    1. NOTE: No sudden impact force is allowed.
      NOTE: Make sure that new fuel rail bolts are installed.

      Press the fuel rail down into the cylinder head injector bores by hand, then install and hand start the new number 3 and 4 bolts.

    2. Release the force before tightening.
    3. Install the remaining new bolts. Tighten all of the fuel rail bolts in the sequence shown and in the following 5 stages.

      Torque: Stage 1: Tighten to: : 89 lb.in (10 Nm) Stage 2: Back off to: : 0 lb.in (0 Nm) Stage 3: Wait 5 s Stage 4: Tighten to: : 124 lb.in (14 Nm) Stage 5: Tighten an additional: : 30deg.
