I got a rebuilt injector as mine was leaking and proceeded to install it. I got everything buttoned up and started to look at the old injector to see where it was leaking exactly
I don't see the tip seal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Any chance it just disintegrated? I didn't feel anything like a seal while I was inserting the new one. If it was/is still in the injector hole what can I do Thanks |

doesnt not running the inner injector seal cause sealing issues and vacuum leaks?

Yes, they will cause vacuum leaks if they are missing.
Go to O'Reilley's and get a set of injector seals from the help isle. They are for Japanese cars, but they fit a 914 just fine. |

I don't see the old tip seal from the old injector I removed. Could it have been pushed into the cylinder? If so how to remove. Engine has not been turned over yet. |

They do tend to stick in the manifold sometimes so I would check that. If it's not there, I would go ahead and fire it up. I doubt it would makei t into the cylinder and, if it did somehow, it probably wouldn't be disasterous. It's only rubber.
My car had two seals on a couple of the injectors - probably from the PO not noticing they stayed in the manifold. Hope this helps. |
