Manditory Fuel Pressure / Leak Test

Today at 8AM, I received a set of new fuel injectors - I decided to order new injectors and have them shipped overnight first delivery in addition to the remanufactured units already on order from injectorplanet.com (I'll keep the reman units on hand as back-ups).

I lightly lubricated the upper and lower o-rings with vasoline, inserted the injectors into the fuel rail, inserted the fuel rail / injector assembly into the ITB's, inserted the 6mm screws thru the fuel rail hold down brackets and into the fuel rail and tightened, then reconnected and tightened the AN-6 fuel supply line fitting to the fuel rail and repeated the procedure for the other fuel rail.

I reconnected the electrical plug to the fuel pump and turned the ignition switch to "On". This time, the fuel pump started and pressure in the fuel rails built up to 40 PSI on the gauge at the fuel pressure regulator and there were no fuel leaks. Fuel leak problem solved.



Later today I will be receiving new copper 12 x 16 x 1.5 mm sealing washers to replace the weak aluminum units that were supplied in the Pelican Parts sourced engine gasket kit and I will replace the aluminum washers for the copper washers on the banjo bolts and oil restriction adapters for the cam tower oil supply lines. I don't like the way the aluminum washers felt when I tightened the adapter and the banjo bolts and I don't want oil leaks there from the get go.

Following Al's recommendation, I bought a second A-B-C fire extinguisher, so I can have two fully charged fire extinguishers at the ready when I do the initial engine start up hopefully later today.
