I swapped out some return line from another injector to see if it was the new return line that I replaced at the same time with the injectors. With engine running it looks like bubbles at the bottom of this injector so I pulled injector to see if I installed the seal wrong and it I think its correct (above pic) and I re-torqued but I still get bubbles at the bottom of the injector.

This is what I think is the wrong way to install the injector seal:

This is the correct way.


The heat shields are single use.
Once you (make contact) begin tightening them, if you back-off they are junk.

Attempting to refresh-reuse "used heat shields" is begging for BURNT injector nozzles.
