ok guys im putting new injectors into the fox. i understand that i have to remove the upper intake. i have never performed this on a fox before. lol so any tips and advice would be great. was thinking of keeping the throttle body on the intake and remove it as a whole but idk if this is a good idea.

always thanks again for the guidance

 

also should i use any type of adhesive on the upper to lower gasket? should i put any anti-seize on the upper bolts? do i need to torque them, what pattern should i do?

 

for the injector installation, don't forget to put lubricant on the o-rings before you mount them, vasiline should do the job, this is to protect the o-ring and help ease the install. gasket is good enough for your intake, dnt need to use RTV seal. you can keep the TB on the intake as well. check your Haynes manual for the torque spec, or just dnt over tight it.

 

i found the sequence but does not give me a torque value

thanks for the help

if any one else has opinions on this please chime in

 

i believe it's in the range of 12-18 ft/lbs for upper to lower. but could be as low as 8 ???

i'll check my notes and see what i find, anti-seize is ALWAYS good on aluminum stuff

 

thanks for looking.. you dont think there needs to be anything on the gasket??

 

Upper intake gasket goes on dry.

 

no dry gasket between the 2. you'll just make it hard to remove later. and i never got into my stuff.... tied up on a t5 from he!!, broke a collector bolt, crossmember bolt, fought a rotted crossmember.... i dont even remember what else. if it coulda gone south it did.

but hey LETS GO RED WINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

 

no higher than 22lbs on the intake, otherwise itll distort the seal on the heads.

i did 18lbs on mine and it worked fine.

and i had my upper off idk how many times and my gasket was fine and never leaked.

 

thanks for the help guys
