    NOTE:

    Ensure the fuel rail threads are clean and free of any excess fuel, or the fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor will NOT seal properly.

    Lubricate the threads and sealing surface of the fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor (1) with one drop of clean engine oil. Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers

  2. NOTE:

    Applying force to the plastic housing of the sensor may damage the sensor. To tighten or loosen, apply force only to the attached hexagon.

  3. Install the fuel injection fuel rail fuel pressure sensor (2) and hand tighten.
  4. Remove the fuel injection fuel rail pressure sensor (1) from the fuel injection fuel rail (2) and re-lubricate with one drop of clean engine oil. Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers
  5. NOTE:

    Refer to the procedure link for torque specification.

    NOTE:

    DO NOT use any type of lubricant when installing the NEW combustion seals on the fuel injector tip.

    Install EN-51955-1  Long Protector (1) onto the fuel injector tip, covering the first recessed area closest to the tip. Place a NEW fuel injector nozzle housing seal (2) on EN-51955-1  Long Protector (1).

  8. Using EN-51955-4  Pusher (3), install the fuel injector nozzle housing seal (2) into the recessed area (4) of the fuel injector, then remove the EN-51955-1  Long Protector.
  9. Compress the fuel injector nozzle housing seal (2) using EN-51955-3  Pre-Sizer (5).
  10. Using EN-51955-5  Sizer (6), resize the fuel injector nozzle housing seal.
  11. Install EN-51955-2  Short Protector (7) onto the fuel injector tip. Place a second NEW fuel injector nozzle housing seal (8) on EN-51105-2  Short Protector (7).
  12. Using EN-51955-4  Pusher (3), install the fuel injector nozzle housing seal (8) into the remaining recessed area (9) of the fuel injector, then remove EN-51105-2  Short Protector.
  13. Compress the fuel injector nozzle housing seal (8) using EN-51955-3  Pre-Sizer (5).
  14. Using EN-51955-5  Sizer (6), resize the fuel injector nozzle housing seal.

    NOTE:

    The fuel injector nozzle housing seals must fit properly in the relative groove. Overlapping of the fuel injector nozzle housing seals with the external surface of the injector must be avoided.

    Check both of the fuel injector nozzle housing seals on each fuel injector for correct seat:

    • The fuel injector nozzle housing seal must not be too large, buckled, or corrugated (1)
    • The fuel injector nozzle housing seal must be fixed tight and accurate (2)
  16. If the fuel injector nozzle housing seals are not installed correctly, remove the incorrect fuel injector nozzle housing seal and replace with a NEW fuel injector nozzle housing seal.
  17. Repeat the procedure for the remaining 3 fuel injectors.
