injector question
I just got my ruck all back together after trying to diagnose a couple injectors not working. It was a combination of things. Loose injector hold downs, bad IDM, and one bad wire.
Anyway, torqued all the injectors down right and started it up. All of the injectors on this side are running oil out the bottom and nothing coming out the spouts at all. It's about 34 degrees outside so the oil is thick. Don't know if that matters much.
When I had it running with the valve cover off yesterday all of them had oil coming out the spouts except the one not working. Nothing was coming out the bottom hardly.

The spout is a very rough fit against the injector, no seal or anything.
Let us know EXACTLY where the oil is coming out.

It looks like the oil is coming out the injector bore in the head when it's real cold. O rings.
One injector had oil coming out under the solenoid. Most of them started spitting out the spouts when it warmed up a little like normal

Oil is exhausted from the round port.
You will see the port, with the spout removed.
Only other oil you should see is from the valvetrain.
If you found "Loose injector hold downs" you will have to remove
that inj. The inj bore has to be cleaned. The CC gasses have gotten
by the copper gasket.
