Hi guys
I changed my fuel rail and upon doing this a injector o ring got damaged but I didn't know! So it dumped a small pool of fuel in cylinder 1.
I cranked the engine and it would crank then suddenly seize.
I took out all the plugs, pumped all the fuel out of the piston and dried the soaking wet plug.
I'm scared I'll damage a rod or valve or already have :(
Any ideas if my engine is ok?
Upon priming the fuel pump I saw no fuel enter any of the cylinders so I hope it's fixed the problem (before I heard a gushing sound when it was priming)
I just want to be confident before I try start her up again. Any tips? Few drops of oil in the piston perhaps?
Engine is a SR20DET
Cheers
