Injector ASSY (FA20/Direct Fuel Injection): Installation
- Fuel injector seal installation
- Use the engine conditioner to remove the carbon on engine oil on the side surface and seal groove of injector shown in the figure.CAUTION:
- Do not clean the tip portion.
- Do not use a wire brush etc.
- If the tip of fuel injector ASSY is bumped or dropped, replace the fuel injector ASSY with a new one.
- Apply engine oil to the inner periphery of SST (guide) and set it on the injector so that the taper surface faces toward the tip side of injector.
