Ok so after a month and a half of getting my oil pressure back to normal, I replaced the oil pump yesterday, I set up my timing and start the car and it's barely running, really felt bad, so I go and recheck the timing. Spot on, so I check everything else that got dismantled with the oil pressure problem and I I find a pin hole leak in the rubber fuel line to the fuel rail. Crap is it ever going to end?!!

So, is it possible to repair the rubber line or do I have to buy a whole new one from the rail to the fuel filter?

Oh I so wanted to go driving today.


Thanks,

I would replace, not worth the risk of a fire. Good luck.

Maybe a good time to upgrade to stainless lines?

www.rennbay.com go with teh blue lines for about 65 dollars. can't beat em. I cut my lines off in the wheel well so there isn't any joints in the engine bay.

I went with Lindsey, Rennbay says they're only for 85.5 and above. Not sure why but.

Oh i missed that you have a 84. the earlies have different length and fitting i believe.

Every time I have my intake manifold off I see about 10 things I'd like to fix.

you can cut the crimped part off of the ends of the lines, pull the rubber off the fuel line and the rail exposing a big farrel. Get some new high pressure fuel line the same size and use good clamps at each end- worked on my 924s and still have had no problems for some time.

Yep, tha twould essentially be all the rennbay kit is anyway, and that is also the recommended installation of them as well.
