      *a SST (Guide)

      Slowly slide SST (guide) toward the tip of the direct fuel injector assembly. When the direct fuel injector assembly contact surface of SST (guide) aligns with the fuel injector seal as shown in the illustration, hold the position for 5 seconds or more to fully seat the fuel injector seal into the direct fuel injector assembly groove.

      Note

      Make sure the fuel injector seal is not pinched between SST (guide) and the edge of the direct fuel injector assembly groove. Replace the fuel injector seal if it becomes damaged.

      Tech Tips


      • Set SST (guide) so that its bottom surface is flush with the fuel injector seal.


      • If it is difficult to slide SST (guide) upward, slowly wiggle it from side to side while sliding it up the direct fuel injector assembly little by little.

      *c Deformed
      *d Correct
      *e Incorrect

      After installing the fuel injector seals, check that they are not scratched, deformed or protruding from the direct fuel injector assembly groove.

      Note

      If a fuel injector seal is scratched, deformed or protruding from the groove, replace it with a new one.
