if something can go wrong while I'm working on it, it will go wrong



shopping list:

pulsation damper

lower to upper intake gasket

little gasket kits for the injectors



anything else?



until I get the stuff, will it be ok to wipe off the area each time I have to go somewhere, or should I just not drive it at all? (scheduled to rain this week...motorcycle + rain = not very fun)

it's a good idea to avoid driving it, you don't want a fire.

ok...there's always other ways around...I'm good at stealing the wife's car before she wakes up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

so I guess I want the injector o-ring, as it's called: http://www.mazdatrix.com/c-6.htm



the site says the location is "top," is that all I need?

get the top bottom and the middle one, 8574-13-252 x4, 8574-13-253 x4, and n326-13-257 x4

this is my shopping cart



pulsation damper

gasket intake- center

injection o-rings

injection upper grommet

injection lower grommet



I didn't see anything called a middle one...just top and bottom grommets, and top o-rings



I have a haynes manual...should that be good enough for this task? (even though I'll probably refer to you guys about 23 million times by the time I'm done)

yup, your list is good :bigthumg: plan on doing it over a weekend so you can take your time, and everything should be fine. you must have confidence young one

Ihave a brand new S5 Pulsation Damper still in the factory bag, 150 shipped

S5 PDs won't work on an S4, will they?

Yea, you will need the injector o-ring and then the upper and lower grommets. The thing I like about VictoriaBritish is that they sell an injector seal kit. Each kit contains two o-rings, two sets of grommets and two sets of dust boot thingies, all for 10.95. .
