The clamps that keep the injector lines from touching are all new and I even replaced all of the little rubber bits at the same time. Everything feels tight, secure and otherwise in place.
I tightened the elements by placing some vaseline on the threads, hand tightening them until snug, torquing them to 20 ft-lbs and then releasing, 20 ft-lbs again and releasing and finally 25 ft-lbs and holding.... It was tight in there for a torque wrench but all seemed well and I was very careful about it. Any more thoughts? Oh, I've tried the Italian tuneup and it runs like a quick 603 should run!
Also, I think compression is good because this engine starts on a dime and has zero blowby from the breather and hose...
