*HELP* 3.0 Throttle Body not fitting
After building the motor I ran into this problem tonight. When I was putting the throttle body on it wasn't lining up. Its up by at least 1/4" and hitting the fuel rail. Did I put the spacers in wrong? Do they go in order of spacer, fuel rail, spacer, then nut? I thought I took them off by 2 spacers, fuel rail, then nut. Theres a spot that sticks out on the bottom of the throttle body that hits the fuel rail. Are the injectors seated all the way? I didn't think they looked right. If you can judge by the pics then by all means...give me some insight because I am at my wits end with this motor!

Gotta fix both sides...so plenum comes off and both fuel rails. Screw it tonight I'm taking off and hit it tomorrow. Thanks for the info dude..I know one thing if this motor craps out soon then its getting swapped. PERIOD.

I took my time...tonight was supposed to be fire up date after 3 months of downtime...now I have a coolant leak in the front of the motor under the timing cover. Thinking it may be the center idler but I put FIPG on it. Time to take it back apart tomorrow.

check the lower radiator hose as well - i broke that hose clamp and limped to a hardware store for a new hose clamp....when I got there forwatever reason my truck dumped about 1/8 gallon on the ground then stopped....
I poked my head under and the only thing that was even damp was the lower hose....ooooook LOL
Replaced the hose clamp, refilled, and all has been peachy since.
