Leaking from the body? Are you sure about this? Seems like a high failure rate.
Did you use metric FI hose to connect them? 5/16" is almost 8mm, and you want 7mm hose for the injectors. |

i recently sent 7 green top to cruzin for cleaning, to find only 3 of them not leaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
i sent a few more and finally got a set of 4 good ones. I am not sure if newer ones will run any better, but used ones are pretty cheap on this board. post an classified wanted ad and see what happens (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

IMHO 30 yr, + injectors make me worry. I have stock injectors in the new engine that I just built. I see these threads about fires and it makes me worry even more. I'm getting ready to build another engine but this one will have new injectors in it.
I have a fire ext. in the cab of the car just in case. 30 yr + injectors can be a problem. |
