Hey folks,
1989 535i 5speed 91k miles
I have just recently installed upgraded boche injectors. I am now re-installing the fuel rail. The injectors are already clipped and seated on the rail. Now I have to seat the the rail with injectors into the manifold.
Here is the issue; I can only get half of the injectors seated at one time, when I get three in on one side the other side pulls up and visa versa. There is no way I bent the rail pulling it up to remove it, that thing is pretty sturdy, and while it took some effort Im not superman. The only possible way the rail bent is when i painted it(I like stuff to be pretty lol). So that involved 200* in the oven for an hour to cure the paint. It could have warped then, possibly. Still I don't see a noticeable bend and I believe that piece of metal is just to heavy to be manipulated.
So tips or tricks to getting this rail seated properly? Do I need to pull it again and check for a bend using a 2X4? Its my thoughts that the issue is with the mechanic (me) and not the rail. Are there any tips for putting equal pressure (which seems to be a lot of pressure) on the entire rail? Im going to finish this weekend but I wanted some opinions on my problem.
