Literally digging into this. Is this suppose to come out like this?

Thank you again!

GT6ixer

^Yep. That's normal. Be careful not to gouge anymore of the sealing surfaces

Socal_Tom

Thanks Nate!

Socal_Tom

Out with half of the old... (did then one at a time so as not to mess up during order).

Had some time this morning so I brought the fuel rails in to clean them and I am glad I did. Look at the flow from the far left nozzle - or more accurately look at the lack of flow!

Cleaned that out and all 8 flow equally now. Parts washers are under rated, grin.

3 outta 4 ain't bad.

Socal_Tom

Not.

Going.

To.

Make.

Horseshoe.

Joke.

Socal_Tom

Good morning.

Could someone please confirm that the rubber hose that connects the injector to the fuel rail is supposed to be 50mm long?

Is that a safe number to use or does it need to be custom per car?

Thanks!

GT6ixer

Yes that is what it is. I cut all mine at 50mm.

Socal_Tom

Thanks!

Is the replacement inner thermostat seal simply a press on fit?

GT6ixer

I can't remember if I was able to press mine in with my hand. If not take a socket of similar diameter with an extension on it and lightly tap it in place. It should not take a lot of force.

My very vague recollection is I just pressed it in with my fingers.

Socal_Tom

Thanks gentlemen.

Socal_Tom

Good morning.

Any tips on removing the rubber boot on the rear shift coupler or better to just cut it and install a new one to save loads of time?

EDIT - it looks like to pull it out of the way you pull it towards the rear of the car.

Thanks!
