question about dsm 450 install
 

i didnt know if this should go here or in the engine man. sectiion. but anyways....
i put some 450s in my 91 civic today,and had a few questions.
- the write up on the site says to get some taller bottom seals and bore them out. i just used some b16 bottom seals and bored them out, and was woundering if i would have any problems with those.
-i put the injectors in and they fit fine except where they go into the fuel rail. the slid in fine,and i tightened down the fuel rail, but in between the rail and the injector
seal(quess thats what it is. its the smaller round black seal ontop of the injector) there is a little gap. just woundering if this is normal.
thanks

meaning the top seal isnt tight?...thats not cool. and as for the lower seals, its fine so long as the dsm injectors end up sticking into the manifold as much as the stock ones did

Re:question about dsm 450 install
 

well the o-ring that goes into the fuel rail is tight, its the black seal right below that...

Re:question about dsm 450 install
 

oh...the spacer thing? is the injector maybe too far down in there and the rail cant tighten down on it enough?...if the injectors are tight in there that spacer shouldnt matter much imo...but i dunno

Re:question about dsm 450 install
 

well the injector sits snug(looks nice and normal) in the intake manifold. but im not using the taller seals. the rail is flush with the plastic pieces that sit on the intake manifold where the studs are to put the nuts on. everything look fine but the gap in between the fuel rail and the black seal on the injector.(the one right befor the injector gets fat)

Re:question about dsm 450 install
 

did you check the overall injector height compared to stock?...you may want some taller seals

Re:question about dsm 450 install
 

I think that's normal. Mine have a gap and they don't leak so ---- it. As long as your O-rings are good you should be fine.
