Hey guys

I need some help on getting my cam cover to fit, after i have installed my fuel rail and FPR i have no room to get my cam cover back on. Does anyone have any ideas to what i can do? is my fuel rail just simply to big? If anyone has some pictures of there set up could you post them please.



Cheers.

Find a shorter rail, an fitting with a tighter radius, russells has one, trim your cover, or run without on. Pretty sure that's all your options.

I trimmed the cover on my Talon when I ran into the same issue. Did it clean, so it was barely noticeable.

Take the rail to an industrial machine shop and have them shorten it what you need or shorten and cut off the pipe thread from the fitting and weld straight to the rail but this will fubar the anodize half way down the rail.

I could do it but shipping back and forth would be more than a rail.

I'd ditch that fitting and get a smaller diameter fitting. That looks like the one from Extremepsi?
It's probably easier to just grab a couple of pushlok fittings and a bit of hose.
This is what mine fits like.
