Any V8 builders out there???

[andy-w]

Hi all...i am after some advice really.
I have just put the engine back in the chim and i have got petrol leaking out of one injector when the fuel pump primes and builds up pressure in the fuel rail...is there a knock to putting the injectors in as the others are all fine apart from this one...?

I am going to strip it down again tomorrow and have another go and was after any pointers...

pinched the o-ring perhaps? (insert smutty elaboration here)

bit of vaseline helps when your pushing it through the ring

Depends where it's leaking from... either top O-ring or past the pintle itself would seem the choices. If the former, then as said the top O-ring is probably not sealing properly. If the latter then the injector itself isn't shutting-off properly; you may find it'll clear itself when you start the engine; if not ultrasonic cleaning may shift the debris... or else it'll mean a new injector.
