it's like doing your woman. lube it up and it'll go in nicely. force it in dry and you will probably tear something.


haha... and NO dont drive it! doesnt matter which side its leaking. Cars DO catch fire. Havnt you ever seen fast and the furious?

Lol, does it matter what side? Its leaking, it'll follow the engine downwards depending how much it leaks, or itll follow the hood heat shield upwards, and eventually it will catch on fire.

Earlier S2000s didn't have the triangular piece held on with star screws. The damper screwed directly into the rail.

That is the fuel pressure regulator. Did you take it off too?

You really need to invest in a helms manual (http://www.helmsinc.com) if you plan to service your own car. It will save you time, money and frustration.
