new injectors!!! =)

okay, ive done a search on the forum and found the torque specs, 35ftlb for the injector and 25ftlb on the fuel lines. but i havnt put them in because i dont have any ani-seize and the local hardware store isnt open until monday. so i was wondering, when i get the anti seize should i just put it on the injector theads or is there anywhere else i should put it?

Copper anti seize works well just apply it to the threads and be done with it. You must live in a small town because you can get anti seize just about anywhere even my local Walgreens has Loc-tite anti seize.

I like to rub it on my face, and on my back...

Ok, kidding... put a little bit on the threads of the injectors, being careful not to use too much. A little goes a long way.

WOW axe_handle, I've had my back seize up before but never my face. I keep my face lubed up with the oil from the bottoms of broken trucks!

Did you replace the injector O rings when you changed the injectors?

If you only changed the injectors and did not remove the injection lines from the IP, it should not be to bad to start.

If you do need to bleed them, leave a couple injection lines loose, crank the engine with the throttle pedal on the floor.

When fuel starts bubbling out of the injection line, tighten it up.

We need to find out who supplies the politicians and stop their shipments. Maybe at least their mouths would sieze-up. If they go without long enough maybe they would stop functioning completely.

A politicians mouth stop moving....I think they move even after death.
