I got an injector reseal kit (my NA 86 944) from Advance auto parts and the hat was blue and a bit taller than the orange caps. It looks like it will work just stick into the intake hole about 10 or 15 thousands more i would guess, it snaps on ok. Anyone used the blue hats or any ones a bit taller like this and if so did they work alright? Where can you buy the OEM orange ones?

thanks

I ran a set of blue caps on mine for about 5000 miles and noticed no diffrence.

When I did the rebuild, I got the proper set from NAPA of all places. (Forgot to get it from Paragon, and ran out of time).

Thanks Perry, were the blue ones you had just a bit larger, taller? I will check at NAPA. Were the ones from NAPA bosch?

The ones NAPA had wre orange and made by Bosch. The blue ones were a touch taller and were made by TRW. I cannot recall where I got them from.

I just did a reseal on my injectors with the blue ones. They weren't taller, I think the snap ring on the inside locates them at a different position on the injector. If you look at the bottom the injector pin doesn't stick thru as far. I got mine at a local import house. I didn't notice any problems. Don't forget to lube the top "o" rings before pushing on the fuel rail or you might roll a seal!

Your local Porsche dealer has the "Orange Caps" in the Injector Valve Gasket kit - part number 944-110-901-00. Kit ran $3.91 each at my dealer, or $15.64 for a set. Probably could have saved 10% if I'd flashed my PCA membership card.
