Fuel rail spacer
Hi all,
When I put my engine back together again a year ago I couldn’t find the fuel rail spacers so I just used some washers to make one. Of course I wasn’t exactly sure how tall the original ones were so I guessed. I’m thinking that I might have an injector leak issue tho and this might be part of the issue. Does anyone have one lying around they can measure for me by any chance?? I can’t get ahold of one right now (special order everywhere) and I really want to try to solve this leak this weekend. The Mitsubishi part number is MD095402. Thanks! S. |
You definitely want to get the proper spacers for this. You won't get the proper spacing and pressure with washers alone.
This is not a good place to cheap out. A boost leak around the injector seals or any fuel-related leaks could easily lead to engine failure or worse. Spend the $20 on spacers now to save yourself from more expensive failures later. I also recommend performing a boost leak test after seating the fuel rail. I had boost leaks around the injector seals every other year until I machined the Mitsubishi spacers down by about 0.5mm to put more pressure on the injectors. Those injector seals tend to dry out and shrink over time. |
