Now get your head out of the gutter!
Has anyone ever changed out heads on a newer V6 FWD?
Im telling you its about annoying as hell!
lol
I think the Buick will be running again by the weekend if not sooner
I got everything together, just clipping the Injectors to the Fuel Rail, need to run the wiring again. Need to take the Power Steering pump off again to run wiring uder it (A real treat!).
Its been a project...
Good thing, well its sold already. GF is buying it. Im confident that as long as it starts/runs it should run for a fairly long time- about another 60K miles.

Balls to the wall on the buick all day tomorrow!
I REALLY need it running soon...
Heres one for you mechanics...
When installing a fouel injector I ended up putting a nice mark across a sealing surface. Theres an O Ring that goes on it up in the fuel rail.
Do you think it will leak?
Also, can I use JB Weld to kinda fill the mark and sand it down?
BTW it goes across the sealing surface from where the fuel goes thru to the outside...

With your luck it will
No telling. How deep is the mark? The O-ring
should be able to keep it sealed, but there's no telling. Plug it up and see, though, fuel injectors are chicken poop compared to putting a cylinder head on.

Ahh update.
The fuel injector did seal up. It took me a few tries to figure out how to get the injector/rail assembly back in correctly. One try ended up in it shooting fuel out about 12' into the air- lmao
ANyhow got it all back together yesterday. Started it up...
And she knocks...
Anyways going to check some pushrods tonight if I have time. Start my new job tomorrow!

Next time, test your fuel rail near an open flame. It'll save you a lot of hassle
