Talking Evosport Phenolic Spacers

Hi all,

i Recently received the phenolic spacers here in australia and wanted to find out something.

The spacers have a gritty black material on them, i assume a by-product of the production stamping. Is there a proper method to remove this black stuff or will just a wipe with a damp cloth do? Also, are there any tricks to installation that i should tell my mechanic regarding torque of the screws or like.

Thanks for the help inn advance

I don't remember any 'gritty black material' on them - if so, I'm sure a rag with some light solvent will get it off.
Aside from that, when you install them, make sure you install new gaskets (should be included) and get some sort of spacers for the screws/studs on the other side of the fuel rail.

There are a couple of great threads on this forum that discuss installation tips, etc....
