STAGE 30:

The parts in this stage are to begin assembling the right cylinder head.

Locate the right fuel rail and right intake manifold, parts 30A and 30B.
Press the parts together. They will only fit one way.

Locate the 6 x injectors, parts 6 x 30C.
NOTE: There are no spares!
Cut one injector from the sprue and locate the 6 fuel tubes, parts 6 x 30D.

THE FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY METHOD IS FAR EASIER THAN THE PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS.
If you try to follow the printed instructions, you will find fitting the fuel tubes extremely difficult.

Press one of the fuel tubes onto a connecting pin on the fuel rail, and press the injector into the other end of the tube.
Make sure the square tab on the injector is facing down, toward the manifold.
Bend the tube over and press the injector into the locating hole on the manifold.
Fit the other five tubes and injectors in the same way.

Store the assembly safely for later use.
