Re: Fuel Dist. Rebuild




Phil,
I am having that failure mode that you warned about where some injectors 
squirt all the time. Although I am getting it in not all injectors (#3 for 
sure). I pulled all 5 injectors so I could check for this and so I wouldn't 
flood my engine!! Thanks for the heads up. 

Another stange thing is that I cannot get more than 55psi system pressure. 
I tried to shim the reg. about .025" and system press. stayed the same. I 
then cracked the injector fittings and found #3 flowing all the time where 
the others flow only when the air plate is lifted.

Do you know what causes this? I do have a small wrinkle/indentation in the 
metal sepatating gasket in the bore for #3 injector. Could this cause this? 
I was also noticing that the metal separating gasket has a slight 
indentation for each of the five injector ports. It looks like the fuel 
pressure from under the gasket has pushed the gasket up against the 
injector port causing the gasket to dent slightly. Is this normal?

Thanks
Russ
