    I also think this is where alot of people cause unnecessary problems for themselves. I never adjust the injectors after I initially install them. The bottom ring is crusted...You go messing with them you can break that seal. But most times somebody messes with them running the overhead.

    I know this isn't @Logan76 problem just the way I do things.

    I'd have them change the injector cups. You may have one that didn't get seated properly.

    Hopefully they get it figured out!!!!

    Adjusting injectors isn't going to disturb that bottom seal. It burns away in time and is replaced with carbon. The thing is when you run a brush or rag in the cup to clean you are leaving lint from rag or dislodge a pc of carbon that will play hell on an injector if it gets in the fuel rail or leave a bristle from brush. If the cups look clean and the orafice where the tip seats I don't eff with it. Just install new injectors and ride.if there is alot of carbon buildup at the bottom I have a sleeve I slide down in the cups and lightly scrap the carbon off into cylinder. ....the engine will pass them just fine. A microscopic pc of dirt will screw an injector up in a flash. The less you eff with them the better.

    I'm looking for someone who has a working cattle ranch? My buddie found out about 3 weeks ago he has stage 4 cancer. Spent the weekend with him and his wife. They had cattle when he was a small boy and he always wanted to be on a cattle ranch again for a few days.

    He is still healthy but I'm trying to find something before he starts to deteriorate. Anyone with any ideas, I'm all ears?
