Ask Me,
Virginia
I purchased RCI 1200cc injectors and installing them has always been a nightmare.
With my FICs I can just put the top of the injector into the rail and use care/common sense and install them very easily.
With the RCI injectors, if you try to do that, the injectors loosely fall out of the top of the rail which frightens the crap out of me.
In speaking with RCI, they suggested that I install the injectors into the head first.
Not having any luck with that method either. If you slide the injector into the head the seal doesn't want to go in all the way and the injector pops out when you need it to stay put the most. If you put the seal into the head first, it is too tight and the injector pops out when you need it to stay in most.
Having this level of complication has caused me to break the seals going into the head forcing me to buy new seals at my expense only to rinse and repeat this hassle.
FWIW they have been referred to as Lucas injectors and Delphi injectors if these are tougher to install.
The injector o-rings are well lubed.
Help!
