Dam 1600cc ford injectors install??
I seem to have a problem with installing my ford 1600cc injectors into my secondary rail. How the hell did you guys install this. The top of the fuel rail install looks ok since I installed 3 O-rings to hold it in. Its the bottom ones that I can garanttee will leak. As per the picture I installed it the way I saw someone do this on the list which does not work since the hard part of the plastic hits the piece inside of the lim and there is no seal.
Any input will be greatly appreciated!!
oh and dam all those gaskets cost me and arm
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks guys,
That is the link I was following for the install. Problem is the yellow tip hits the fuel splitter? in the LIM. I guess I should trim the yellow lip?? The stock injectors just slide right in without hitting anything. The link looks like they kept the lip but I have a 1988 Turbo.
Oh and I did nothing to the fuel rail. Just used stock o-rings. 3 on each fuel rail!!
Thanks

The plastic fuel 'splitter' below the injectors needs to be modified. You don't want the screen on them anymore. Just cut them off. At this point they are merely just mounts for the injectors. The 1600 cc injectors have so much flow that it is not uncommon for them to actually break off the screen from so much flow and then they go flying through the engine. Cut them off.

Many people just install them without modifying the screen but then fail to realize that over the life of their car these things have probably gotten very brittle. Not to mention the fact that it is very easy to damage them when removing injectors. I cut mine. No problems. New ones might not break but better safe than sorry.
