It seems like the rails need to sit down lower, I tried that by elongating the hole for the fuel rail bolt but the rail just bottomed out on the head of the bolt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ May 19, 2005, 07:06 PM: Message edited by: SilverLX351 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,4,19,19,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Remove everything, replace any damaged seals. Coat the seals themselves in vasoline, install them on the injectors and install them into the rails. Let it sit overnight w/o fuel in them. It will cause the seals to expand. Also, you may need to make your own brackets to get the rails to seat lower, I've had to do this as well. The first trick has worked 99% of the time though! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
