heres a pic of my leaky injector...of course a week after I cleened it up, it quit. not soon enough, I had already ordered a new injector and fuel line...

 

I'm not at all familiar with the 1st gen engines. Do you have like 6 "mini" valve covers or am I missing something?

Why did you order the new fuel line? Are they known to crack or something?

 

6 individual valve covers.

6 independant fuel injector supply lines with 1 common return line.

the supply lines some times leak from age, vibration, etc.


I removed the line from the injector. used a brass bristle brush, tooth brush sized, and cleaned up the threads on the injector and line. spray cleaned both of em and allowed to dry. was good for a few days and started leakin again. now it seems to have sealed off......no leaky for a week.


ordered a new fuel line just in case the old one was cracked or otherwise faulty.

same for the new injector.

figure I have a spare now for later use.

 

Man that's pretty cool !!

What do you use, teflon tape or something on the threads?

 

no tape, no seals. straight metal to metal action . tapered a bit for a seal I do believe. kinda like plumbing parts.
