So had some progess in the last 2 Days did some more cleaning in the engine bay and had the intake removed. I'm goin to clean it some more and paint it. also go to clean the head a bit more before i remove the valve cover to paint it also. you can also see where the rust got cut by the frame Rail.

what-did-you-do-to-your-240-today-t482864-960.html

Installed my 550cc injectors. Pretty easy straightforward install.

Unplugged the fuel pump and started the car till the pressure was down.



Take the covers off then I use vise grips. You can even use a napkin or paper towel or cloth to cover the plastic. Pull straight back don't twist them out. I know it feels like the right thing to do and have done a lot of research on taking injectors out. Even as far as putting them in the oven but I really don't want my house smelling like gas or have an explosion. lol.



Voila!!!



Now for the new injector. Set it in there don't hammer or push it in there. Get your injector cover with the bolts and tighten them going back and forth between them as shown below. Make sure when they are getting tight they are seating properly. Look at your other injectors for reference.





Repeat the above process for each one. Plug fuel pump back in. Turn key but don't start it immediately. Listen for the hiss in the front and wait till fuel pump kicks off in the back. Make sure that hiss isn't fuel pissing out too. No problems started right up but you get the idea.



Peace.

[SkyS13Walker]

So i finally got the injectors out and finished painting the rail and some other parts.
You do have to twist the injector a bit so it can pop out due to the O-rings. and i have to give a big thumbs up to my local auto shop that helped take a striped screw out for me Now next step is to paint the valve cover.

Now For the Pics:



LOOKIN LIKE SOME NEW MARBLES


had to paint the throttle body too


MAF lookin soo Purretty


Finshed Product with new clamps and hoses

Question of the Day I just Got my EGR BLOCK OFF PLATE and i was wondering is gasket repair the same as Gasket Maker. im just tryin to have the best seal so i get no leaks and no problems

ISIS PLATE

[breadbox]

just use RTV black, but pretty much any of them will do. then tighten them evenly. The hole is like 1/2 and inch in dia. so it hard to screw up.
