ok my truck started to overheat and it popped the radiator. well after changing it and the water pump and theremostat it still kept puking coolant.it didnt do it all the time . if i let the truck sit at idle for 30 min it did nothing.if i drove it a 1/4 of a mile with decent accelartion it would puke. i pulled out my injectors and it looks like 3 of them weren't seated properly.the bottom of the cups has black on the inside of them where the copper crush washer goes.the bolts on the injectors wasn't very tight . i was using a 1/4 drive small ratchet to remove the bolts and i barley had to give any effort to remove them.does my coolant problem sound like unseated injectors and also whats the chance that the cups are loose and how do i test that.

I might try mildly pressure testing the cooling system with the injectors out. I might also just plan on replacing them as ones that were loose sound like a pain to get clean.
