Fuel Fitting on Back of Cylinder Head
Is there some sort of trick to tightening the fuel fitting on the back of the cylinder head?
Mine isn't causing any hard start issues yet, but it's leaving about a 2" diameter spot of fuel drippings under the truck when it's parked overnight, and I'd like to head off the hard start issue before it happens.
Unfortunately I can't get a wrench on the stupid fitting and it's driving me nuts. The best I can do is reach back along the driver's side of the engine, and I can BARELY feel it. I just cannot get a wrench on it for some reason.
Any tricks or suggestions would be hugely welcome at this point!
Thanks,
Mike

It's a standard banjo bolt like the one on your vp44. You have to almost lay across the top of the engine and go in from each side.....probably needs new washers..
