With the fuel rail removed, it took us about 8 mins to install. Fuel rail removal is about 45 mins.

I was looking on the TVT web page for the install instructions, but couldn't find them. Could we be expecting these instructions with the spacers or are the instructions still being edited/documented for the website?

Thanks,

Thanks,
I'm going to upload the service manual to the site soon. I'll get the section on gasket replacement up. Basically the same thing, but instead of gaskets you insert spacers with gaskets.

OK, it's attached.

Anthony,

Could you also post how to exactly remove the fuel rail (the pdf says to refer to something else)?

Thanks for the prompt responses
