Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 293159, member: 578"] Sorry for spelling I am on my phone @ Dollywood taking the fcamily on the rides. Actually Dave , You are correct I have had the injectors in for months butg due to some family health issues ectg itg had maybe a week at most of driving. That runninjg was also very easy. Not a single WOT or hard run. So not your fault as norfmally your assumption would be spot on. I fully accept I could have flubbed up the install on the number 2s cylinder if it turns out to show fuel blowing past a crush washer. I posted about having a real PITA getting #2 t seat fully. After numerous tries, plenty of lube, ect I finally tgot itg to install where thye soleniod tops all seemed levelo to a straight/edge. But the injector never gave that bottomed out pop in feeling a injector has when it seats. I havge no idea why. I inspected tghe new and old injectors. Both looked good. Old orgi factory ones only had 100k of very easy miles with only 5k on a chip and it was babied. The oldx one was super clean and orings looked good. I recall checking all injj for the copper washer and all were good. I cleaned each port and checked the cups visually and were gtg as best I could see. But for whatever reason that one inj was just terrible to seat. Ofr course now in retrospect that is the one thatg souunded loud and where the pinging sound seemed to orginate from when it finally started blowing fuel and lost power. I just can not understand what is/was the cuase of it not seating properly as right now looks to be the case????? Something slightly out of spec on a oring or the like? I am just throwing ideas out. I do not recall that one being much worse than the others to pull when I did the swap. How to proceed? I will need a full oring and copper washer kit? Visually inspect the nozzle or should I call Nate and see if I should send it back to be checked out by him? I hate to be down another full week for mailing times unless it needs. To be done. If it does it does. I'm not going to cut corners and risk melting a piston to try and save few days. So what are the opions on how I should proceed? Injector had maybe 300 easy miles at very most when it blew. [/QUOTE]
