this valve on the front side of the fuel rail was leaking. so we took it off and put a new ring on it. when we put it back down the hole wont face the right direction. we keep playing around with it and cant get it to work. whats the trick with this?

so i notice the nut on the bottom can be rotated independently. the leak is coming from between the nut and the regulator body. my dad suggests that this one is broken and i should get a new one. a new one being $150. i dont think so. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, first off, copper washers need to be replaced whenever they're disturbed. Second, pull the regulator back out another full turn and then tighten and see if it still leaks. It is possible you damaged it when you tried to install it before, but it'd be hard to do from what I recall of the assembly, I'll have to dig out my spare and check.

yea the copper washers are all holding. the leak is right here...

I know where you meant... is the rubber O-ring still intact? Did you back the regulator out further and then try retightening the nut? If you're getting fuel out of the top of the nut then the seal below is failing... only place i can see where that could happen (I'm looking at one right now).

so your saying the leak has to be from the o-ring or washer? if its not that then it has to be damaged or something?

thank you

CVbikeguy, been watching your thread and didn't expect you to finish this rebuild without giving up and just letting a shop finish it. Your pretty good for a newb.

I was actually thinking of doing the same with my 87 N/A Supra but after seeing all the troubles you went to changed my mind. I whimped out...:D

Your car looks sweeeet and I wish my Supra is the same...

wow thanks man. yea im pretty sure i got the rest of this down. just a few more tweaks. this car was in bad shape when i got it. after doing this rebuild i realized how little i know and still how little i know about cars. but man after all this knowledge i now know that my car was in bad shape. had a small temptation to part it out......

jk

Heh, for a while there I was thinking about parting it out for ya! :rofl2:
