Archived Leaky Injector Lines after VP change out

[Houser]

Hi TDR Dudes

I just changed out my VP44 And cant get the injector lines to reseal at the head end. Whats the trick. I dont want to just keep torking untill somthing breaks. Any advice is welcome.



Thanks

You might want to look at the transfer tube o-rings. You may have not torqued them correctly. If you tightened the hold down clamps before the TT connection at head you can also have problems. How many are leaking? Mike

I did tighten the hold down clamps first, and they are all leaking a little

Mike - When I did my F-1s I had a leaker. Apparently I tightened the one too much. I was able to loosen then "snug" back up to stop the leak. I've heard that if you overtighten the line nuts too much you may end up replacing the entire line - not sure why? Maybe the line cracks??? Try loosening one, then snug it (not tighten until it stops) then check it for a leak. Then try the next one - do one at a time. Hope this works for you. Did you do the HRVP-44 or stock?
