i have ordered



Beck/Arnley Fuel Injector O-Ring Kit






Part No. 158-0899

from advance auto parts it stated it would fit. i now have delt with 2 fuel leaks from the top o ring leaking. it startsoff the same size then it expands cuaseing leaks, do not buy this kit i found the leaks before some thing really bad happened.

 

Thanks of the info. I know to stay away from anything Beck/Arnley

 

the old o rings off my s5 turbo injectors worked better than this crap... and when i went back to claim it the offered me the same part... WHY THE HELL DO I WANT SOMETHING THAT JUST LEAKED!?!?!?!?!

 

OEM is the way to go.

 

Got mine from Mazdatrix. Somehow I knew not to trust the local parts store...

 

Yup.

 

yet more often than not it is user error, go figure.

i bet the o-ring rolled on it's way in due to lack of lubrication. i've installed many many injectors and even doing it properly i find myself doing it from time to time.

 

nope the overall size came out bigger i compaired them to the spare s5 turbo injector o rings the are a touch bigger.

 

you either picked the wrong size or error in install.

I also once ripped a o-ring test fitting a injector and I didnt lube it first.

b/a is one of the largest suppliers of auto parts in the world and it aint like mazda makes their own o-rings anyhow

 

Yea, pinching or ripping O-rings for the injectors is common with FCs, for some reason they really like to fubar on you, whether it's OEM or B/A.

 

5/16th inch fuel hose.... all ya need.

 

nice save. i was just going to buy a kit. glad i saw this first.

 

the stock oem ones have a differtant feel to them ... look this isnt a bashing on me for installing them incorrectly.. which i didnt.. im just letting people know that these expanded and caused an issue that happend to me . that i wouldnt want happen anybody else.

 

also rob how could i picked the wrong size when advance stated it fits all fc rx7s?

 

I used that same kit, no leaks for 5 years, lubed during each install even reused so I'm voting for possible user error. Neoprene orings are neoprene orings.

 

everyone likes to think they're perfect, it takes a humbled person to admit that they were possibly wrong.

most people try to jam the injector into the rail which is what causes issues, a pushing and pulling method helps to work the injector into the rail so that the o-ring doesn't want to roll over on itself and rip.

new seals especially have this issue, all of them including OEM.

and whenever working with the injectors on these cars i prime the fuel system with the UIM off several times to make sure there are no leaks, to save time and aggravation.

 

trusting the guy behind the counter was the mistake

the quality of the b/a o-rings were not to blame

I've made PLENTY of mistakes im not bashing
