Procedure

The combustion chamber seal (Teflon seal) for the fuel injectors must not be oiled or greased.

- Clean the fuel injectors. Refer to => [ Fuel Injectors, Cleaning ] Procedures.

- Carefully remove the old combustion chamber seal (Teflon seal) with the appropriate tool (for example, cut the seal open with a razor blade, spread it outward with a small screwdriver and remove it forward). When doing this, make sure not to damage the groove - arrow - and circumferential rib in the groove base.
