April 30, 201312 yr It should go on with minimal effort. Did you bend the rail perhaps?The o ring on the injector nearest the bumper is stuck inside the fuel rail I believe, that or it is gone completely. I'm going to try to use a dental mirror to confirm, but it feels like there is a rubbery squish when I try to put the rail down on the injector. Last time I took it off it slid back on like cupcakes.I can't get the rail to mate with the injector. It feels like it has a solid connection, but gas just sprays out. I tried petroleum jelly and wd 40 to maybe ease the injector into the o ring while inside the rail. No luck.Maybe I will get my first bit of good luck and the O ring will just be MIA and I can grab one from the store and not worry about removal from the rail. The last attempt of the night/morning had the rail seated deeper than ever but it still just shot out fuel, so perhaps it got washed out.As much of a pain all this has been for me, I don't think I have ever learned so much intangible info on working on a vehicle.Ruined the fuck out of my manicure though.Oh and thank you guys for reminding me to blow out the holes before pulling the plugs. WTF, one of the holes on the drivers side was stuffed with dried out coolant powder. Ultra nasty. the oring must be on the injector, not in the hole. Use a pick to fish it out... barring use of a pick, angle a wire coathanger to reach into the rail and fish it out.also, put petroleum jelly on the O-ring after yoi get it back on the injector. you should realoy use the jelly on all of the rings before putting tyem back into the rail.

Had to loosen ths EGR pipe to lift the rail high enough.Used my cell phone to confirm and check. It was awesome. I feel so good that I got this done. You guys helped a ton!
April 30, 201312 yr good news today. i had my ultrasound and found out that i get to keep my life and my balls. it turned out to be epididymitis. thanks for all of your support though guys! i was pretty worriedPeanut butter jelly time!Great news. I bet you are about to celebrate with some petroleum jelly yourself huh?Thanks for the tip I used a little wd40 and then jelly. I wanted to clean them off a bit as they were pretty dirty and didn't want to rub debris into the injector while applying the jelly.Oh Ryan, once I got the rings on the right part the rail slid on like a just right vagina. Barely any pressure needed.

April 30, 201312 yr Went to pick up a package and when parking I hear a loud rattle from under the Jeep, just like a bad throw-out bearing. I press the clutch, the noise does not go away. I barely touch the throttle, it goes away. In another parking lot the noise stopped when idling. Turns out the downpipe - gearbox brace is slightly lose. Easy fix, yay
April 30, 201312 yr Got all my packages from the US safe and sound, no more stress with customs. Xcon included, that thing is a beast
April 30, 201312 yr I don't think it fits in the RLi flush-mount And I need to ship it out tomorrow so if it doesn't fit, I can't test it in the Jeep
April 30, 201312 yr Pimpin' ! I put the summer wheels on last weekend. It looks like an older car with chrome on the center caps

April 30, 201312 yr Got all my packages from the US safe and sound, no more stress with customs. Xcon included, that thing is a beast Thank you Aaron ! It was a fuckfest with the customs though and I still need to get money back from customs. But it's all well.
April 30, 201312 yr The plot in porn is shitty......they need to invest a little in the acting.JYou are looking for a job aren't you? Fix it More seriously, government work would be a good target for you.Government or places that get gov money. GE is a great vet place. My navy budy worked with me for 6 years in HR for the hospital and it killed us both. He was a hull tech and now just got a job with what it sounds like the only company to be doing a plastic to diesel conversion that is effective. His history with the mil is so helpful for them. They know he will work, and for him to get in at the ground level means huge future.No matter what you will figure it out J. You are a smart guy and even more important you can talk to people. That is a rare commodity.Thanks for the support guys. The government/the military is a place I have thought about. I'm looking into the VA in Tampa, as its near where I would like to live. Hopefully with my DD 214 (certificate of discharge) and a nicely worded resume I can find what I need. I'm just taking it day by day, as with no set timetable to leave, it is extremely difficult to answer potential employers questions.J
