cracked injector seal

[andrewjscott]

I have a cracked injector seal, but not what you might think. The rubber ring didn't crack, its actually the little plastic cover shown here (see below). Can you buy this piece, or do I need a whole new injector.

If you do need a new one Ill send you four used ones for $15+shipping

No the pintle caps are pretty much common to this style of injector. The 1G caps have a single hole where the 2G ones use a two hole cap that helps direct the spray at the valves rather than the divider.

The trick to putting them on or taking them off is to heat them up in hot water.

awesome, thanks a lot.

Just wanna be clear, I put the pintle cap in hot water, then install it?

 

[steve]

That's what I've been told. I haven't needed to do it myself.

i'll give it a shot, but the cap won't be here until the weekend.

Well, after a week I finally found what I was looking for. Jim's Fuel Injection in Vancouver stock the pintle caps, just in case anybody else runs into the same problem I did.

One up to you my friend. Ran into same problem and im suspecting it is the culprit of running rich when in boost. Going to call them tomorrow and order four incase something happens.

I know he replaces damaged pintle caps when you send them in for cleaning and flow testing.
