1J engine harness wrapping and fuel rail install

[honestabe]

On the engine wiring harness that goes between the head and the intake manifold, what size split loom wrap would you use to wrap it? Also, how much of a PITA is it to install a top feed fuel rail with the intake manifold on? I only ask since I just found out my fuel rail will be another 2-4 weeks before it'll be ready to ship out from Texas and I'd like to get as mch work done as I can.

Thanks all

take everything off the inside part of the manifold (ISCV, IAT, etc) and its not too bad to install the rail, still not enjoyable by any means, but not bad.

as for the loom, not a clue

When I did the loom for my 7M, I bought several feet of every size the parts store had in stock. It's cheap as hell, so I didn't mind the extra few $$$, and I ended up using most of the sizes for one bit or another.

As far as I know there's no place around me to get any split loom larger than 3/4". If I knew the size I could call around.

It's do-able taking off this much. The whole plastic harness needed to be cut out. Then re-wire the injectors with solder and shrink wrap. Then clean up the factory harness. Looks like stock when done.

That's weak sauce.
