TPI bolts for the runner.

I replaced the injectors in my TPI engine and I have two long bolt that I can not figure out where I took them out on my runners. If anybody can help me out or have been through this please I need your help.

Re: TPI bolts for the runner.

They are probably the two runner bolts that are accessed from the inboard side if the intake.

eseibel67 Thanks for the reply back. I did not remove those bolts from their area. Just so I would not get them mixed up. I am going to have to take everything back apart and figure out where I went wrong. lol

I believe the long bolts are top center bolt for each runner

Re: TPI bolts for the runner.

Thanks to all that helped. It is dark by the time I get off work. So I will take a look at it on the weekend and let you know how things go.

3rd. correct.

i've taken my **** appart more times than i care to count over the last year. the two extra long ones are the ones that screw in from the inside. then, on mine, there is one that seems a little longer than the rest, but not quite as long as the two inner ones. that one was originally removed from the passenger side-front-top on my car, but honestly, i dont think it matters, and it will likely fit in any of the outter holes.

hope this helps.

Re: TPI bolts for the runner.

also, it can be trickier than it seems to get a vacuum leak-free seal on the runners (especially at the bottom.) i was finally able to achieve a 100%, smoke machine tested, vacuum leak-free installation by doubling up on the runner gaskets.
