IMPORTANT: When ordering new fuel injectors, you must order the correct injector for the application being serviced.

The fuel injector (1) is stamped with a identification part number (2). A 4-digit build date code (3) indicates the month (4), day (5), year (6), and the shift (7) that built the injector.

  1. Lubricate the NEW injector O-ring seals (2 and 4) with clean engine oil.
