[Vwdiesel] Injector Seals

[Dave Cook]

Someone please tell me it is ok to reuse injector seals!  

I am very close to having the engine hooked up!  It is all bolted into the car, just working on hooking up fuel, coolant, clutch, etc etc lines and wires.  If possible, I might be able to crank it tonight!

I noted when I was cranking over the engine that I could hear compression leaking around number 1 injector.  So I went to tighten it and it was only finger tight.  Well, all the other injectors are also loose so I popped them out to take a quick look.  All were ok, but I kinda thought the seals needed to be new every time they were installed.  Good thing I checked, though, as number 4 didn't have a seal in there at all!

I could pull a seal out of another head, assuming that is ok to do...

I could get some tomorrow afternoon probably, but have to work late tomorrow and Tuesday so it will be a few more days before I could try to start it, and I'm rather impatient!
