A recent project I’ve been working on my van has been ongoing. I recently replaced the lower intake gasket on the engine. When I put it back together I found gas leaking out of the top of the fuel injector. I pulled the upper intake off, found the leak and fixed it by clamping it back in place. Once I put it together, again, gas leak. Smacking my head against the wall, I called the dealer to see what I may be doing wrong since I had replaced the o-ring seals on the injectors. Come to find out, you cannot use Motor oil to lube the rings because it expands the rings and basically ruins them. The purpose of the motor oil was to lube them so I could easily put them in place. Finding the correct product to use fixed the problem. This relates on the section about visible the invisible.
Another discussion was about errors and how to deal with these errors. I know that in the future before starting a project I haven’t done before; I will be doing a little more research to figure it out. In my case here, I wasn’t using the right product even though several people had told me I was doing it right. For me, to fix these errors I bought a Haynes manual and it gives the step by step process in how to get it done the right way.
