[urq] something's amiss..update

[Bill Bennett]

I added the metal bar to My Son's MC powered 4000 CSQ after the number 5
injector kept insisting on popping out despite new seals and seats after any
boost event, problem gone after installation, I put the 90 fricking dollars
new air cooling duct on top of the metal bracket, yeah under the same screws

... don't use the turbo so much Gary ... ;-)

I think the cooling air distribution shroud is supposed to do double
duty and hold the injectors in place, but if your car is like mine the
plastic ends get brittle and the thing is not as well located ... I
assume providing enough slop to allow the injectors to get popped out of
the inserts under heavy boost.

One of the things I've got on the "when there's time" list is to take
the metal bar from a 4kQ that des the same job on the NA engine (wonder
how often *they* pop an injector? :) and fit it to my valve cover hold
down bar ...
