Injector holders
 

Hey,

91 300ce

Does it matter how the plastic injector holders are inserted into the intake manifold? And, I was unable to push the injector holders completely into the intake manifold such that they are flush with the manifold. Will this create problems? They are a mm or two out. I thought that inserting the injectors and tightening the injector plates would push the holders in further, but they didnt push them in deep enough.

any thoughts?

anyone anyone anyone want to take a stab at answering this question???

New o-rings on outside of holders. Doesn't matter how they go in, and if you have the clamp tightened down properly, it's far enough.

When I changed my injectors I replaced the holders and O rings (and tubes). They kind of snapped in and the holders didn’t seem to press them. Did you replace these items? The parts are not expensive. If they didn’t seat I bet there is a problem. Did they all seem to go in the same? MHO

Yes,
everything is new: injectors, injector seals, injector holders w/ new o-rings. They all went in the same way, but just not 100 percent.

thanks for the replies

Did they pop in? Did they all seat the same? I used a very thin coat of Syl-Glide (silicon gel) and the holders slipped right in and they felt like they seated. If your seals were dry perhaps they didn't seat and the O ring is pinched between the holder and the head. But I am not a professional so be advised...

Did the old injector seals come out? Sounds like you have two seals in there.
