Note sure if this is the correct forum please move if needed.
Hey guys,
Just in the process of pulling out squirters and noticed all the driver's side ones have the top most o-ring (next the split ring) ruptured. Hope to get passenger side pulled tomorrow, shall see if they are the same.
Not sure of the history of these injectors and I think the PO said they where Swamps tranny savers so thinking 140/146? Been in the truck for at least 4.5 years (that's how long I've owned it) and I have put on 210,000 kms (135,000 miles), total of 465,000 kms on the clock, albeit again not sure how long they've been ran.
Gonna shoot them off to Tim at P.I.S., for 175/80, once I get the rest out and packaged up. So it looks to me that oil pressure has eroded the o-ring until it has ruptured at the split ring. Guessing this is not uncommon and wondering if anyone tried to stack two split rings and clock them such that oil pressure will not squeeze passed and erode the o-ring? Seem to recall this a few years ago when high pressure oil first came out (erosion of o-rings) but can't remember if anyone tried this?
What say yee....
Thanks jrc
