Subaru Side Feed Fuel Injector Seal Kit MY1992 - 1995

Subaru side feed injector seals are essential components of the fuel injection system in many Subaru vehicles, particularly those with horizontally opposed engines (Boxer engines). These seals ensure a proper seal between the fuel injectors and the fuel rail, preventing fuel leaks and maintaining optimal fuel pressure.

Key Points about Subaru Side Feed Injector Seals

 1. **Function** The primary function of these seals is to prevent fuel leaks by ensuring a tight fit between the injector and the fuel rail. They also help maintain consistent fuel pressure for efficient engine operation.

 2. **Materials** These seals are typically made from durable rubber or synthetic materials that can withstand high temperatures and exposure to fuel.

 3. **Replacement Signs**

   - Fuel leaks around the injectors.

   - Decreased fuel efficiency.

   - Engine misfires or rough idling.

   - Strong smell of fuel around the engine bay.

 4. **Installation**

   - **Remove Fuel Rail** To replace the seals, the fuel rail must be carefully removed.

   - **Remove Injectors**: After the fuel rail is removed, the injectors can be taken out.

   - **Replace Seals**: The old seals are removed and replaced with new ones.

   - **Reinstallation**: Reinstall the injectors and fuel rail, ensuring all components are securely fastened.

 5. **Compatibility** Ensure that the replacement seals are compatible with your specific Subaru model and engine type. It's often best to use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts for the best fit and durability.

 6. **Maintenance Tips**

   - Regularly inspect the fuel injectors and seals for signs of wear or damage.

   - Replace seals at recommended intervals or when symptoms of failure appear.

 ### Steps to Replace Subaru Side Feed Injector Seals:

 1. **Preparation**

   - Gather necessary tools and replacement seals.

   - Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.

 2. **Relieve Fuel Pressure**

   - Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

   - Locate the fuel pressure relief valve and relieve the system's pressure.

 3. **Remove Components**

   - Remove any components obstructing access to the fuel rail (e.g., intake manifold).

   - Disconnect the fuel rail from the fuel lines.

   - Carefully remove the fuel rail from the injectors.

 4. **Replace Seals**

   - Remove the injectors from the fuel rail.

   - Take off the old seals and install new ones, ensuring they are seated properly.

5. **Reassemble**

   - Lightly grease the injector seals and reinstall the injectors into the fuel rail.

   - Reattach the fuel rail to the engine, ensuring all connections are secure.

   - Reconnect any removed components and the battery terminal.

 6. **Test**

   - Start the engine and check for any fuel leaks.

   - Verify that the engine runs smoothly without any fuel smell or performance issues.

Proper maintenance and timely replacement of Subaru side feed injector seals are crucial for the performance and reliability of your vehicle's fuel injection system. Following the correct procedures and using high-quality parts will ensure your Subaru runs efficiently and safely.

Replacement seal kits can be purchased individually or as as a set of x4.
