ok now im pissed off

ok got it all back together, started it, and the fuel injectors are leaking.

i put the clips back in them, and tried pulling up, and they seemed tight. (during re-installation)

anyone help please?

 

did you put on new o-rings. buy them in sets at local auto part. lube with vaseline to prevent damage during install.

don't run it with leaking gas... boom.

 

yea i know, right when i started it, it sounded like it wa running out of gas, then i smelled gas, and didnt think twice to shut it down, and look and all my injectors were wet

 

+1, new orings or they are not seated all the way. And actually you didn't even need to remove the fuel rail or the injectors to begin with. But that's besides the point now.

 

really? the haynes manual told me to

 

bad advice from haynes.
i left my rail with injectors attached to the manifold. it makes a good lifting handle.

if all of them are leaking, they might not be seated. pull them all out and check. you'll have to anyway.

 

Don't believe every thing you read, besides, it does not matter now. They are not seated right or the orings are torn,simple as that.

 

yea ll re-oring them all tomorrow, hopefully that works

 

i actually like working on my truck, usually i'm alone, i got the radio playing some tunes and the wrenches turning, until i drop one, in 20 gallons of nasty gear oil (i have done this, when i did a complete fluid and filter change on the Oliver 1850, the oil in the trans was white, water contamination, and i dropped a wrench in it and that stuff had the most god awful smell)

the reason for the timing chain is, my truck will have nearly 100,000 miles on it by this winter and i have no clue if it has ever been changed, so why not

 

mines got 193K and its the original chain...but theres no slack and not chewed up chain
