Leaking injector

[Si_freak]

I have a B16a2 thats has started leaking gas from the injectors. I took the injectors out and put new O rings on them which stopped the leak. I drive the car all day no problems at all but as soon as it sits for a few hours it starts again. When i take the O rings out they are trashed and i dont know whats causing the problem. If anyone has an Idea id like to hear it thanks.

they fit really tight, you gotta put some oil on them before you install or they will tear.

ok ill try that this time.but why doesnt it leak right then if theres a tear and not later? just wondering. and thanks for the info reps.

are you just using rubber O rings? or HONDA Brown injector seals?

If you just bought regular O rings it will not work they have to be designed to take having gas on them, others will not last,


also when you install them do this..

when the fuel rail is off and the injectors are out and you installed the new rings onto the injectors either spit on the rings, or light oil or WD40 and twist back an forth and stick them into the rail first. then once that is done install the rail back with the injectors in the rail. before you tighten the rail down twist the injectors back an forth again this will make sure they are sealed right. tighten the rail down but not over tighten the nuts. once your done twist the injectors again to make sure they are sealed and your done. Congrats
