jogger321 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I know for the other cylinders on the metering units the rubbers are available and easy to replace Is it possible to do the same for the banjo bolts on the metering unit that control cylinders 2 & 5 I have to keep bleeding the injectors on both of these if my TR is not used for a couple of weeks suggesting the non return valve is leaking fuel back into the metering unit on these two cylinders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 If they are leaking you will need to replace the banjo bolt itself along with the two seals. Lightly grease them on installation and don’t strangle them up too tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 It may just be the orings as due to vibration they tend to degrade. I believe you can use a copper washer instead of o rings too which is more resistant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Also before you go mad are you sure that the orings on the injectors arnt to blame? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jogger321 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 So just looking at the picture of them on the KMI site...Is there more to them than just those two 0 rings shown...which is why you can't recondition them your self? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rogcastle Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 This was posted by John l in 2008 on this site. hope it helps. The non return valve, just stops fuel draining back from the injector, so keeping the pipe full all the times. I took the spring out carefully, and rubbed the rubber disc on some very fine wet and dry paper, and it reomoved the ring where it had been seating. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
