Can I safely tighten them a bit more? Diesel Giant suggests having the injector casing soak submersed in brake parts cleaner.... Might this improve things? I already went meticulously with my fingernails, brake parts cleaner, paper towels, to clean the threading, but maybe having it soak will help.
