I am tring to install some 30# Ford SVO injectors, but the grooves in the injector, where the clip goes, dosen't go all the way around. There is a grove on each side, but with the injector facing the right way the groves are at a 90* difference from the sides of the clip.

How do I clip these injectors down to the fuel rail?

Do I carve out the groove all the way around?

Thanks

dont bother with the clips, they're not necessary

 

I was hoping that some one would say that.

Thanks

You could also hit the closed part of the groove with a dremel--only takes a few minutes--clips slipped right on....

 

Look closer, there should be another groove. I thought the same thing on my siemens injectors then realized there is another groove.

 

There is another groove, but the injector would have to be pulled out some in order for the clip to go around it. I thought that it would possibly cause a leak at the fuel rail by not having it in all the way. Somebody let me know if I am wrong.

Thanks

 

Use the other groove. I did and no leaks. When you bolt the rail down everything is tightened up anyway. Try it.

 

You can use the other (i.e. continueous) groove even though the injector will not sit as deep in the fuel rail as the stock injectors do. That's the way I installed mine, and they haven't leaked yet.
