• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Fuel injector fuel rail disassembly - anyone know if the gaskets between fuel rail sections can be used repeatedly?

I am working on a 2010 Spyder RS SE5 with very low miles on it. It has been stored in a controlled environment, all fluids have been replaced, new battery, and one leaky fuel line connector at the fuel pump. I need to clean the fuel injectors. It appears I must remove a part of the fuel rail on each side of the throttle body to get at the injectors. In the exploded parts view of this area, it shows a flat gasket that sits between each fuel rail section and the throttle body. Before I try this, I would like to know if anyone knows if the pictured gaskets can be used repeatedly? Would appreciate any feedback as what to expect. I did a search but could not find anything to help. Thanks for whatever you might share.
 
Seriously doubt they should be reused (or can. However, idk) Unfortunately there's no BRP $$ in reusing them. You'll have more trouble with them being discontinued. Carefully remove one & take it to your preferred parts house (call around first; it helps if can find/verify any size info) and you might find something compatible. Best of luck! Also, check for torque values.
 
Thank you for your reply. I was finding what you said in the onsite research. I guess I just needed to hear it from somebody else that this was a reality. I will go forward with a cleaner idea of where they stand. I'm an old dude but a good mechanic and I agree 100%, in this world of aluminum I never go anywhere without a torx wrench. Thanks again.
