I have not pulled them since the trip home. that's tomorrow's project.

the seat might have been a little dirty but you have to also understand that these new rings are only 7.5 mm whereas the orifice into the prechamber on this car is the old 10mm. Therefore you have a small amount of sealing ring hanging out in space. The actual seal I think is the heavier outer surface of the ring that injector tightens to.

I know these were set correctly torque wise so I'm actually considering that my IP is not delivering full fuel to this hole so it gets hot... Either that or there is a malformity in the seat.

Greg,
I got your PM and that might work to check it out. Might be one problem though as the seats are actually slightly beveled so it might be tough to fnd the right spot.

I've got access to a 79 that I can pull a prechamber from but I don't have the "special" tools. Anyone want to loan me theirs?

I hate to pay 60.00 for tools that I use once in my life... I'll even send a check as security.

I'll shoot an update tomorrow after I pull this injector to see what the new one looks like. I think I am going to trade out pumps tomorrow and see if this solves my slight miss and by default this issue. Wish me luck!!!
