I am willing to bet that there are few Old Volks totally without bubbles , =
the way I check them.    Do I have bubbles ? yes    --- am I going to do so=
mething about it --yes I am going to keep driving. It has to do with judgme=
nt .  very small bubbles drive  , big bubbles  pull the injector.

One point is very important "DO NOT" cross thread the injectors.If you do t=
hey will never seal, The end of barrel must be square with machined seat fo=
r heat shield.     A damaged thread may be a problem. In that case I would =
experiment with a sealant.    White Teflon tape ??? well the Olds injectors=
 some of them have a Teflon seal  and some of them a copper washer.
Hagar.
PS:  Use water and dish detergent and do the test on a cool engine.And let =
the rest of us know.  Here?  #1 Bubbles   and #4 bubbles. (small).
