thanks again for the great explanations, advice, and pictures!

last night i went out and readjusted and tightened up all the hose clamps on the cooling system. this morning, no leaks! must have just loosened something in my yanking.

so, i've put this project on hold, even though i've got ugly, rough start ups each morning still. i now understand the pop testing this a little better and i'm going to have to try to coordinate scheduling as this is my daily driver and the closest place that will do this work is about an hour away. somehow i have to convince them to make an appt. in the a.m. for me and finish asap so i can get home and put them back in before work the next day!

either that or i can buy a set of injectors off of a parts car and mail them off with the new nozzles right? that way i can continue driving and then replace the whole thing once they're done? will that work or do i need the original injectors to my car?

thanks everyone!
