| Post subject: | G16B - Fuel Rail Fitting |
Hi Guys, I bought this engine half disassembled which has made things painful. I've just installed the injectors and fuel rail but I think I must be missing something. If I tighten the fuel rail bolts all the way then the rail doesn't allow enough clearance for the injector connectors to fit. The photos below explain this a lot better. In these pics I don't even have the bolts tightened all the way but the connector are already fouling. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing?   Cheers, John |

I'm not that familiar with the G16B, but, I believe you may be missing a spacer that fits below the rail - are there 3 bolts to secure the rail? The parts manual appears to show three bolts and three "INSULATOR, DELIVERY" |

Yeah, it has 3 bolts fixing the rail to the manifold. I can't say I've got anything in the parts bucket that I would term as insulators. I'll try using washers to space the rail off. Thanks for the help Fordem. |

That looks about right. My injector plugs are a tight fit up against the flat on the rail |

Missing the spacers. I dropped one and couldn't find it, but a spring washer was the same thickness as the other spacer. I eventually found the one I dropped, but 2 years later the washer is still there. I will measure the spacer to be reinstalled and take a pic later today if I remember. I also have 2 baleno injector rail spacers I can measure too. Hope you haven't damaged the injectors and the seals etc. |

Thanks Guys. JD, I'm a little concerned about damage too but I think it should be ok. Once I saw those collars starting to deform I stopped. I've actually got my own injector cleaner and tester. This came with a heap of seals, filter baskets, o'rings etc. Provided the injector itself didn't bottom out I can replace the rest. I'll try it with spring washers and see how that rubber collar looks. Why they'd bother using spacers in this situation is beyond me. |

The parts manual calls them insulators, I have no clue what material they are made from, but if they are not metallic, the intent might be to reduce heat transfer to the rail. |

They are plastic. I didnt get a chance yesterday, but I'll have a look this afternoon |
