[QUOTE="maplemale, post: 1101286, member: 17366"] Pulled the valve covers and took a look at injectors. Didn't have time to drain the oil and fuel rails and pull the injectors, was just checking out level. Both cylinders (3,4) in the same position on both sides looked like they were maybe 1/2 centimeter too high. You can see me barely able to tap the metal level by rocking it over the number 3 cylinder. Maybe the top of my injector caps are just higher on those two? Or slightly misshapen? I don't know... I also beat the crap out of them with the rubber and re-torqued the bolts. No difference. Still rocked ever so slightly as seen in the video: Check it out: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9L7NI6735E[/url] Also, explained the whole situation to a reputable 7.3 shop in town. We talked for quite some time and they were adamant I must have bade valve seals and whoever told me that the injectors not seated correctly was the problem didn't know what they were talking about. He was quite sure I'd see a drivability issue and oil/coolant mix. Not that I 100% believed him. I don't see how this could be the case when I didn't have this problem before the stage 1 injectors and immediately afterwards it shows up. [/QUOTE]
