@#$^!@#%^(^*%) Can't get these freakin' Covers on!!! :((

What do I have to do to get these stupid fuel rail covers on the engine??

I ordered the '01 Corvette fuel rail covers and I can't work these bastards on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Do I have to remove anything??

Any help??

Thanks!!

Have you made the nessecary cuts to get them to fit? I had to make some cuts on the passengers's side FRC.

You don't happen to have pics or a link to some do you?

If not, I'd REEEEEEEALLY appreciate a step-by-step description of what needs to be hacked and using what tool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Since cuts are needed, which cover goes on which side?

I assumed the cover with the big hole goes on the passenger side for the oil cap; is this correct?

Thanks!

Patience.

Well first off with 2001 covers I assume you only have one fuel line slot, but our cars require two.

Here is a link where the guy used the ZO6 FRCs that have the provision for only one fuel line. If you have FRCs with a provision for the return fuel line (2 fuel lines total), then you will have to make 1 fewer cut.

Hey XstaZ28,
Did you just copy and paste what I said in another post about FRCs? I was about to do just the same thing.

For more info/ideas just do a search on this site (LS1Tech) for "Fuel Rail Cover".
