I like to put the wriggel on the injector facing the injector body as it's steel, the flatter side against the head which is ali to prevent it cutting in. The clamp bolts are not that tight in truth.

Post by: stretchy on January 20, 2010, 20:19:43: I have had this before ... from what I can remember the coper washer is best when its used only once as it compresses as you tighten up the injector clamp.
I replaced all 4 for less than £1 and that solved the problem.

I put a dab of greas round the injector before puting it back incase I have to get them out again as they can seaze in solid

When I did ours a couple of years ago, one injector had been put in with 2 wrinkled washers and IIRC on checking I found it made the spray pattern very very close to the head, that cylinder had more scorch marks on the ali too.
