Happy Turkey Day to all......
I took the time while the turkey was cooking to change the oil & filter on my '86 brick sedan. I always look around in the engine bay during this time to check for any problems. Today I smelled one.....GAS. Usually I smell nothing, but after living with this car for over the years, I know when something is amiss. I found the source of the gas smell and it was coming from the #2 injector seal area. Just a ever small trace of moisture at the base of the injector. I was able to dry it with the tip of a small screwdriver and a shop towel, but it returned after a few minutes while the engine oil was warming up with the engine running. The car has 328K on it and at 305K last February I replaced all the injector seals during the 300K major service using Volvo seals. All has been well until now. My question is, can I remove the fuel rail and or that particular injector and reseat it using the existing seal which is only 10 months and 23K miles old or should I buy new seals?
Thanks for you input and comments.........
