Question about injector o rings
Hello all, I have a question concerning leaking injector o rings.
I have recently replaced the o rings on all 8 injectors with o rings from riffraff diesel because some were leaking oil into the head, 7 of 8 injectors no longer leak oil, but 1 is still leaking even with new o rings. So I pulled the leaky injector back out thinking I may have installed the o rings incorrectly, but everything looks fine. So now I’m thinking the next thing to do would be to move that injector to a different cylinder to see if the leak follows the injector. Is this ok to do? (Don’t know if injectors like to stay with the same cylinder.) Or is there another way I should proceed? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
