5. Tighten the nuts "R" to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 22

± 1 N⋅m (16 ± 1 ft-lb)

.

>>B<< INJECTOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Use care not to let engine oil enter the fuel rail.
1. Apply clean engine oil to the O-ring.
2. Insert the injector into the fuel rail.
3. Make sure the injector rotates smoothly. If not, remove the

injector to check the O-ring for damage, and replace the
O-ring if necessary. Then reinsert the injector and check that
it rotates smoothly.

4. Align the projection on the injector connector with the mating

mark on the fuel rail.

.

>>C<< FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not let engine oil enter the fuel rail.
1. Apply clean engine oil to the O-ring.
2. Insert the fuel pressure regulator into the fuel rail.
3. Make sure the regulator rotates smoothly. If not, remove the

fuel pressure regulator to check the O-ring for damage, and
replace the O-ring if necessary. Then reinsert the fuel
pressure regulator and check that it rotates smoothly.

4. Tighten the two bolts to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 8.8

± 1 N⋅m (78 ± 9 in-lb)
