Hello,
I am finally back into this project full bore. 1z engine out of a '97 Passat.
Anyway, the guy I bought it from from claimed that the engine was rebuilt and that it had "high performance injector tips" ...
I wanted to verify the injector tips part of his claim, so I pulled the #1 injector (the one closest to the front of the engine, I am assuming that is #1) and pulled it apart. When I had it in my hands on the bench, I accidentally vomited the parts out of the main body and did not know what order they needed to go back in. To figure this out, I pulled a second injector (second from the front) and carefully laid out the parts as I removed them from both ends of the injector. I am confident in how to put this second injector back together.
Here is what confuses me:
... The injector at the bottom is the one that vomited out all the parts when I turned it downwards. I am reasonably confident that no parts were dropped on the floor or lost with this injector. The injector on the top is the one I laid out very carefully as I took it apart. You can see that the bottom injector has this extra spacer (I placed it between the main body and the taller spring, though I do not know for sure that is where it goes) that the top one does not have. Does this have something to do with it being the number 1 injector, and having that plug on the end rather than a hose going to the next injector? Both injectors have the exact same part number ...
...Help? ???
