Injector copper washers
pulling my injectors to check for a bad o-ring.These were installed in May of this year.checking for a issue with sudden blue smoke out the exhaust pipe.As I check,if they are ok,can I reuse the copper washers
I installed with the new injectors in May?.Or should I get 8 new washers as I pull the injectors to check O-rings,one by one.
I don't know if the washers are still good,after torqueing to specs for the hold down clamps.
Thanks.

You should get all new Allient o-rings. Wouldn’t put old ones back in. Not sure about any rules on the copper washers. But as a guess (someone who knows better may correct me) I would reuse the copper washers. But not the o-rings

When does the blue smoke appear?
Copper washers crushes when tightened so they can keep away the cylinder pressure.
Changing only external orings is a waste,there are internal orings too.
What size injectors and where did you bought them?
