I have a b16 with blox,type r intake manifold I got that sk2 fuel rail and I bolted down with the stock plastic washers and new o rings and the two in the center leak,,,,

I dont have the spacers that come with the fuel rail
anyone shed some light on the subject because I have tightened it down and I keep going the further I go it seems to get worse I dont know what I am doing wrong.

I lubed the orings before I put them in for I didnt rip them but still

 

uppppppp pleaseeeeeeee help

 

It may sound a bit funny, but i didnt use any of the washers when i installed mine. I took out the stock plastic ones and i didnt use the ones that came with it. It bolted down fine. Try bolting it down without the washers and the spacers.

 

uppp is this right guys???

 

uppp

 

Did you at least try what he said? Wouldn't hurt. It'll either leak or it won't.

 

No washers either on mine. Slowly bolt it down evenly shouldn't have problem sealing at all lube the orings if it still leaks check the o rings

 

alright ill go ahead and do that

 

check the rings around your fuel injectors, those small rubber hoses that attaches on the fuel injector and filter I beleive.. it keeps the fuel injectors in place when you install it on the fuel rail.. (not the O rings) if your injectors come off way to easy when you pull it apart from the fuel rail then it will cause a leak or even spray and hit your eyes when you put the car on the on position.. this happened to me.

 

the rings is fine... i will go ahead and loosen them because we tightened them down and i will take the washers out and see how that will work out! any other suggestions please do tell

 

open for more suggestions

 

up

 

thanks guys will know by tom....

 

so i assume ur coming up tomorrow?

 

Any luck ?

 

we did loosen it alot and then tighten it a lil and it leaked less.... so idk if we should tighten it more or less?? any sugguestions????

 

ppl help us out!!

 

yeaa bout that i got an 00 si the fuel rail leaked a bunch when i changed rail too its actually a common problem if you notice the injector cusions that they injectors sit in should be diffrent depths its wierd well all i did after over torqueing and breaking a few fuel rail studs and replacing them was go buy some oem cusions for the injectors even tho it was leaking from the top not the bottom. the new seats rose the injectors up tighter in to the rail there for clamping the injectors in to place. also the fuel rail studs there are 3 of them if you dnt torque them they dnt get buried to the shank (where the thread stops) so there is thread remaining out the intake manifold, it happens when you go to losen that 10mm bolt that holds down the rail and the the whole stem moves sum bit. if ya just pay attension to how snug each injector seats you should be fine as long as the cusions and o rings are good

 

with the skunk2 u dont use the studs you use bolts and bolt it down... the o rings are brand new and so are the cusions... i guess ill play with it some more and see whats going on

 

Uppppppppppppppppp

 

did you try actually calling skunk2?

 

i wanted to get this but if ur having problems with fitment ill just stick with stock type R's...

 

it fit perfectly fine but i just cant get it to stop leaking.... and no thats a good idea i will call skunk2

 

ANYONE ELSE?

 

i have the same problem its the holes in the fuel rail there too small so when you try to put the injectors in it rips the o-rings cause theres no space. you have to grease them up and keep wiggling it around and hope you dont rip the o-rings.
