Injector Failure
What and where could this thread material come from?
Dealer Shop towel at Install?
Injectors were new remaned and a new heads replaced, run fine for almost a year.
balance test showed #5 at 40% so I took them all out on the Pass Side. This was the worst all the others looked fine.

Copper Washer Missing....

Any Ideas?

I just don't know where thread would come from or how it would get on the injector unless it was a shop cloth by the mechanic cleaning the injector cups.
#5 is hard to see into -against the AC Condenser without a mirror, so it could happen, but stay in for a year? ? ?

Here's the thread stuff next to the O-ring which was still intact although brittle.

Can't answer your question since I am going to work on my injectors soon too, my first time.
From what you describe, look like the mechanic did not do a good job on cleaning...
Waiting for other oppinions
