Avoid Injector O-Ring failures. Here’s a quick tip that may help when installing injectors.

I had a nasty vacuum leak from this on my 240.Couldnt figure it out for like 2 weeks.

Jay, for what it’s worth, local parts stores do carry injector o ring kits. Maybe not for all types but the ls crap I have they do.

[@GodisGood584]

J always a wealth of knowledge

Another thing to watch for is the RIGHT SIZE O-ring too(!!!) - we ran into this with my nephew's 5.0l SBF, we cut a few O-rings(vasolined up and all) trying to reseat the awful cheap fuel rails that the previous owner had used and went to the auto parts store to pick up a new pack of injector O-rings. Specifically packaged and sold for the purpose, they weren't just random packaged O-rings. But, when we put them on the injectors, they fit pretty loose, both the O-ring cross section was a little too small of a diameter to fill the groove in the injector body and the O-ring's internal diameter was a little too large for the depth of the groove in the injector body, was definitely a no bueno. Ordered the RIGHT right ones online, fit like a glove.
This is NOT an area where you can fudge it and cut corners - not paying attention to your injector O-rings can be a great way to burn your car to the ground

Good idea to use lubricant, I hadn't thought to do that. Would something like NAPA Sil-Glyde work?

[@john3979]

Bitchin!!!! All i needed to know quickly was the point. WAY TO GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[@Sup_Evox]

I did a smoke test on my car and smoke was coming out of one of the injectors bad o rings I’m guessing

[@Tonytewsteez]

Can I use petroleum jelly on any o ring on trucks? Filters included??

[@teenhero2637]

Please specify silicone lube to buy

[@jakethesolomon]

I love engines

[@ianlance586]

I prefer to use fuel itself as a lubricant

[@simpleclean2468]

Question: I have an SC 2JZ that has a blown headgasket and is hydrolocked. The Torque Converter is still attached and the motor doesn't turn. Don't give a damn about internals, cause I'm probably going forged. The question is can I salvage the block?

[@sexyfacenation]

You tend to have to look at stiff to figure out of it is damaged

[@v36vhr]

Can i use lithium grease on injector o rings?

[@VictorLopez-wk9ym]

I’m looking for a turbo

[@aafmirq777]
