Cool... I finally installed these and I'm not sure if it was a good thing. I Comp tested the engine before I installed the injectors. I was running: 290 290 400 390 i had no leaks at idle but after going around the block 2 and 3 were leaking between the body halves. I pulled them tonight and will re...

OK I checked last night and all my new nozzles are 273s. I got all four set to 130 and ready to go. One wouldn't stop leaking between the injector halves so I mic'd the spacer and found that the two matting surfaces were not parallel. Also the marks left on the upper halves mating surface when reass...

** Update** Sorry but I'm losing my mind. I looked at a picture I took of one of them and it was a 273. I know I saw 293 on one and it may be the one giving me trouble. So I'm going to take everything apart and write down what I have. Sorry for the confusion. Rob. Here were some snaps I took. The ol...

The fourth one was not popping cleanly so I called them and asked about replacing it. They're sending another one so once I get...

In an effort to make sure the starting system was up to snuff I pulled the starter last night and disassembled it. When I removed the brush plate, I found two brushes just about gone. One had gotten loose from the holder and the holder was worn from riding on the commutator. So I'm going to grab a r...

Cool thanks. I tried the injector but didn't like the readings. I'm thinking I really need to get things spinning right before I give it another go. Thanks again. Rob.

Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome resource. I've been reading for two weeks now and I started diving into my engine this weekend. I built a pop tester from a bottle jack and McMaster parts. Pulled some injector bodies from a junk yard and set them up to 130 bar. One didn't work right so the...
