injector copper gaskets

Sowould it hurt to hve two copper gaskets at the bottom or my injectors? i switched out my injectors when i put in my new engine, but never thought to ensure that there was only one copper gasket as i was in a hurry.

You should only have one. Having two will cause it not to seat correctly.

It's very rare that those copper washers pop off the injectors when you yank them out. They are on very very tight. So you should be fine.

Is your truck idling rough or anything?

idle

My idle is fine, starts better than ever before, and what a monster on the DP so I think i can safely assume i am safe, but i didnt see any copper in the bottom of my old injector holes and none on the old injectors that i pulled frommy junkyard block, ill have to look closer today.
