[QUOTE="TARM, post: 453579, member: 578"] It could be possible the hydraulics created by the thick oil being down in the cup could have prevented it from ever being seated. I can certainly see it preventing a good seal. I am anal about getting things clean before I put things together or back together. I use my parts washer/cleaner tank a lot. The injector cups, with all the oil drained out of the rails, I suck out any oil and crude that might have drained into the cup. Then I clean up with a cloth on a wood rod that I made to the right size. Then I used a brass bore brush that I threaded to a rod to allow it to reach into the cup to get a fresh clean surface and then finally wipe it down with a cloth over the brush to get anything left out with a nice tight fit and gets into the corners really well. Looks shiny and new when done. My thinking is that it will make it easier to see any cracks if/when they happen. Have not had one yet so its just a swag. Bolts and nuts appropriate parts all get washed and steel/brass or old tooth brushed, degreased, etc. Fasteners all get an appropriate form of loctite adhesive and for aluminum or stainless steel, which have high susceptibility to galling, high-temp anti-seize. I swear loctite has an adhesive for just about every possible scenario. Most (work very well. Way more than the typical Red(#262) and Blue(#242) most only know of. [/QUOTE]
