I noticed I was leaking fuel from the banjo nut on the fuel rail.. so when I went to tighten It, the bolt just came loose. So I bought a new one from honda and the same thing is happening again! It seems to be stripping the inside thread for some reason.

Maybe cause it STRIPPED

 

my question is WHY is it stripping? Its a brand new banjo nut.. and it wouldn't tighten down completely. could it have anything with the washers? I guess I needed to be more specific :/

 

The threads are stripped inside the fuel rail, so even with a new banjo bolt its gonna be stripped no matter what. How hard is that to figure out?

 

You need a new fuel rail. Perhaps it was overtightened at some point.

 

how much do oem fuel rails go for? could I just buy a new banjo bolt?

you need a new fuel rail first(and a new banjo bolt) the bolt it self will not fix it.

Just hit up ebay or a local salvage yard, shouldn't be too much money.

why wouldnt they? just go into a pick-a-part and grab the rail, pay 10 dollars and get the bolt that comes along with it for free

 

Some will some won't unless you buy the complete Intake manifold.
