Thanks a million! I really appreciate the kind words....
UPDATE:
Andy from ADM says you CAN use the L99/LS3 clips -- he's done it and it works -- so, while it may be too late for me,
YOU CAN use the clips you have...
OK, so now to install the Fuel Injector Retaining clips. Here are the clips:
Make sure all the injectors are fully seating to the fuel rail:
The injectors have a 'slot' on the side that the clip fits in:
Push in until fully seated:
All installed!:
Now, according to the service manual, you do the 'drivers' side injectors first to allow for the passenger's side to fit (it WON'T work the other way ;o):
Drivers side was easy, You'll want to 'feed' the passengers by feeding the injectors first with the fuel rail top leaned back towards you (like this:
\ ) a bit before fully seating the driver's side. If you fully seat the drivers side, it makes getting the passenger's side a bit tougher as the fuel rail injector 'top' wants to hang on the manifold -- not a lot of clearance there...
Passenger's side:
Bolted down and ready to put on the engine!
That will have to wait until after work...
