Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 AH HA Mr Fridge - I may still be right - prob not I would suggest some very carefull measuring and comparisons, I am sure that when I MS'd the Eales and moved from the ludicrously expensive Jag Injectors (same as RR but more flow) that I didn't use the Flapper Inlet, but thought the reason why was what I posted, memory aint what is was you know Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Injectors never seem a very tight fit, as long as they seal in the hole they're OK. I often end up pushing them too far in and then have to pull them back out of the hole to meet the fuel rail it may be easier to fix them to the fuel rail & clip in and then drop the whole assembly onto the manifold & bolt down.

jonost24 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'll have another look-see tonight nd which "feels" best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonost24 Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Well, last night fitted the fuel rail & injectors into the 3.5 manifold. Feels good. Once the injectors are clipped into the rail, the injector length makes for a good fit into the manifold. I think I originally had the injectors too far in. Another small piece of the jigsaw done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonost24 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Quick question - When I stick the trumpet housing & the plenum back on, do I use a non-setting Hylomar sealant or an RTV sealant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 There is a LR Special jolop, but V expensive just do NOT use any thing with silicone as that will kill the lambda in double quick time Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonost24 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks Nige, Some do state they're silicon based, some don't. This one on ebay specifies a part no Hylomar Universal Blue Gasket Sealant Part number reference is RTC 3347. This is a non-setting type. When I took the plenum & trumpet base off, the sealer appeared to have "cured" to a silicon sealer texture, although this was a flapper, so no lambda.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Some modern and car-specific silicones are marked "sensor safe", these are OK but the rest are to be avoided. Loctite do some black stuff (I forget the number) which is pretty damn good for most jobs. I think non-setting stuff would get sucked out of the gap, I've heard of it happening.
