Re: question about injector insulators leaking

Ok heres what I have, between the injectors and the fuel rail I have the small rubber o-rings which seal the fuel, thats fine. Then between the fuel rail bolts and the manifold I have the plastic spacers that always love to fall out when putting the fuel rail back in. Then the only thing I have between the injector nozzles and the manifold are the small rubber o-ring type seals that sit in the manifold (these are brand new). Now when I bolt up the fuel rail, the injectors don't press firmly into those seals (the ones that sit in the manifold), the injectors basically just sit in there, in fact you can kinda wiggle the injector back and forth a bit and this is where I'm loosing all my pressure. Now I did some research and I found with an injector seal kit you get the o-rings for the fuel rail to injectors, seals for the injectors to the manifold and also four plactic things, I don't have those and I'm guessing I probably need them, can somebody tell me what those are for?

Thanks
I know exactly what you are talking about. Your best bet is to take an injector into a part zone and see if you order some new ones. Because there are new ones. My mitsu ones fit nice and snug on that but one was lost in the process of rebuilding my engine. I tried to find the mitsu replacemenets but no one had them so I actually used the spacers for a toyota celica and they worked great. If I'm not mistaken this was a relatively cheap part.

Those seals are part of what keps the injectors stable in the manifold so they are definately needed.
