Seal Removal
NOTE: If this seal kit was included as part of a remanufactured injector assembly, skip this section and
proceed to section: FUEL INJECTOR SEALS AND O-RINGS.
NOTE: Rings and seals should be replaced each time the fuel injector is removed. If any fuel injectors
have damaged rings and seals, all fuel injectors should be removed and have their rings and seals
replaced. Care must be taken not to scratch seal grooves on fuel injector body while removing seals.
NOTE: Unless damaged, leave original steel back-up ring, in uppermost groove, on fuel injector and do
not replace.
1. Park vehicle on a flat surface.

Seal Removal (cont.)
2. Shift transmission to Park or Neutral and set parking brake.
3. Install wheel chocks.
CAUTION: To prevent engine / component damage, ALWAYS drain the supply manifold oil and
fuel rails completely prior to removing the fuel injectors. This prevents leaching into the cylinder bore
when the fuel injector is removed. Fluid trapped in the cylinder can cause severe mechanical damage
to engine should a hydrostatic lock-up occur when engine is cranked with the starter.
4. Remove fuel injectors. Refer to appropriate engine service manual for instructions.
5. Remove fuel injector gasket from bottom of fuel injector.
6. Using a wooden or plastic tool, lift lower O-ring seal out of its groove. Cut seal and remove.
7. Using a wooden or plastic tool, lift middle one or two seals out of middle groove. Cut seal(s) and remove.
NOTE: This kit contains an improved single middle seal (pink), which replaces the original two middle
seal combination. This single seal should be installed whether the injector originally had two seals
or one.
8. Using a wooden or plastic tool, lift upper O-ring seal out of its groove. Cut seal and remove.
9. Using a wooden or plastic tool, lift upper cushion ring out of its groove. Cut ring and remove.
NOTE: The following step is optional.
10. If steel back-up ring is damaged, lift one corner of upper back-up ring from its groove, slide rest of back-up
ring from its groove and over tip of fuel injector.
Installation of Fuel Injector Seals and O-Rings

NOTE: Make sure fuel injector is clean and free of debris. Place fuel injector into holder rack ZTSE4299
where it will be protected from debris and damage.
Upper Groove
1. Locate upper groove rings and O-ring seal (Figure 1, Item 3).
2. Lightly lubricate rings and O-ring seal with new, clean engine oil.
NOTE: The back-up ring acts like a spring. Care must be taken when installing this part. Do not twist
the ring. Ring flatness is important.
3. Gently spread to gap and slide steel back-up ring over body of fuel injector up to the large diameter, just
below upper groove.

NOTE: Ensure that cushion ring does not twist during installation.
5. Slide cushion ring (Figure 3, Item 2) over fuel injector and position into upper groove. Ensure cushion ring
is positioned against back ring (Figure 3, Item 1).

6. Slide fuel injector upper O-ring seal (Figure 4, Item 3) over injector and into upper groove. Ensure seal is
positioned against previously-installed cushion ring (Figure 4, Item 2) and back-up ring (Figure 4, Item 1).

Middle Groove

Figure 5. Middle Groove

1. O-ring
1. Locate middle groove O-ring seal (Figure 5, Item 1).

2. Lightly lubricate seal with clean engine oil.
NOTE: Ensure that middle fuel injector seal does not twist or overstretch during installation. Ensure
that seal slides onto injector. Do not roll seal.
NOTE: Approximately 10 minutes after seal has been installed, it should return to its normal shape.
Check for proper fit; seal should be trapped in middle groove, as shown in Figure 5, to ensure that it will
not slide out of groove during injector installation into cylinder head.
3. Slide middle fuel injector seal over fuel injector and push into middle groove. Care should be taken to
minimize the amount and length of time that seal is expanded during installation. Ensure that middle fuel
injector seal is positioned against groove.

Lower Groove

Figure 6. Lower Groove

1. O-ring
1. Locate lower O-ring groove seal.

2. Lightly lubricate O-ring seal with clean engine oil.
3. Slide middle fuel injector seal over fuel injector body and into lower groove. Make sure lower fuel injector
O-ring seal (Figure 6, Item 1) is up against groove (Figure 6, Item 1).

Figure 7. Sealing Face

1. Injector gasket
NOTE: Refer to appropriate service manual to determine which gasket to use.

NOTE: After all seals have been installed on injector(s), wait approximately 10 minutes before installing
the injector(s) back into cylinder head. This will allow enough time for seals to recover back to their
correct diameter to ensure ease of installation and proper seal function.
4. Apply light coat of clean grease to injector gasket (Figure 7, Item 1) and press onto fuel injector.
9 4328469R1
CAUTION: To prevent injector tip failures and damage to internal injector components, a procedure
that primes the fuel system before starting the engine must be followed. When the fuel injection system
is dry after engine service, cranking the engine to start without priming the fuel system will result in an
overload condition in the injector tips and other injector components. This overload occurs because
there is no fuel present to cushion the needle valve as it lifts and seats. To avoid this condition, follow the
procedure below after performing any maintenance that may allow air to enter the fuel system, including
fuel filter replacement.
Fuel System Priming Procedure

1. Disconnect the injector harness at valve cover.
2. Use hand primer to fill fuel system. (Pump until hand primer becomes too hard to depress by hand.)
3. Crank engine three times for 15 seconds each. Re-apply hand primer after each crank cycle.
4. Once hand primer remains difficult to depress after the 15 second crank, reconnect injector harness and
start engine.
5. Clear fault codes 513 (low side to bank 1 open) and 514 (low side to bank 2 open) that were logged by
cranking engine with injector harness disconnected.
