HELP: injector air shroud cone came off

[Peter Berrevoets]

On my MC I've had the IM off quite a few times now (to get at the EM bolts
and to paint the IM - black - sorry Huw) so it comes off and on rather
quickly - 1 to 1.5 hours. If not off before those allen head bolts are
likely to cause serious grief - they corrode and go round inside real fast.

With it off the shroud is easily pushed back out the injector opeing or
picked out of the intake tract. It is also a good time to tighten (and
replace) some EM bolts. My turbo likes to kick one of them out and loosen
the rest.

PS - Glad the pick worked Konstantin
