  7. NOTE: Install the fuel injectors into the cylinder head within 15 minutes of sizing the seals due to Teflon® seal expansion.
    NOTE: Make sure the Teflon® seal is fully seated in the groove on the fuel injector before sizing the Teflon® seal.

    1. Some Teflon® seal massaging with your fingers before the Teflon® seal sizer tool is installed will aid in installing the Teflon® seal sizer tool.
    2. Position the Teflon® Seal Sizer tool with the larger opening towards the Teflon® seal. Push while turning the Teflon® Seal Sizer tool 180 degrees. Use Special Service Tool: 303-1567 Sizer, Teflon Seal.
    3. Once the Teflon® Seal Sizer tool is installed, check and make sure the Teflon® seal is in the sizing portion of the Teflon® Seal Sizer tool. After one minute, turn the Teflon® Seal Sizer tool back 180 degrees and remove.
    4. After one minute, turn the Teflon® seal sizer tool back 180 degrees and remove.
