Hey ladies and gents I'm trying to trouble shoot a problem so that I can continue trouble shooting a problem- Make sense?
BBK SSI intake. I am changing the injectors on my car back to stock. I pulled the old ones off and they looked fine and always appeared to hold pressure. I put the stock ones back on and primed the fuel pump.
Gas started pouring out of the 2 middle injectors on the driver side at the lower intake. I pulled rail back off and inspected the injectors. The 2 middle ones were fine but the one closest to the fire wall had a cracked open cap. It wasn't leaking though!
Me -->
I happened to have a brand new cap and o ring set. I fixed the cracked cap and o ring. I made sure they were all seated. It was a 110% pain in the arse to get that fuel rail on but I finally did it. I went to check prime the injectors again and POOF!!!
The 2 middle injectors + the one with the new cap and o rings started leaking
I noticed that the bottoms of the injector caps had nashes in them and it looks like the molding on the lower is causing it, and this is a known problem for the BBK SSI (bought it in 2005 or 2006, just now installing).
My question is this-
Why didn't the old injectors I pulled off of it have a problem??? Am I doing something wrong? It is rediculous how hard you have to bear down on the poor injectors to tighten the fuel rail up, but the stock rail is a pain as well.
Is this a BBK issue or a Strype issue???
