    Fuel injector Rebuilding/testing and TM and compression testing

    I'm having trouble finding shims..... Do ya'll think large bore A/C shims will hold up? The shims for adjusting air gap for the clutch, the older cars had larger ones than the newer cars do, and I happen to have a assortment of them that I could probably make work. They're almost the same size...

    Carbon!!!! So I pulled all my injectors last night and I'm suprised it runs as well as it did with all the carbon obstructing the tips! I brought my bore scope home wanting to see inside the cylinder but couldn't make it that far in due to it. The pics show what I'm talking about. So now I also...

    Still no power

    Is there not a 1/8th allen adjuster in that small hole???? I saw some info just last week where they were talking about which IP's had smoke screws and which ones you had to adjust the angle on the cam in the IP. Now just to find it again........

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    I put a row of magnets out of a junk starter around my final filter to hopefully catch any small particles.

    Fuel injector Rebuilding/testing and TM and compression testing

    Coastal Diesil quoted $40 to test and $60-80 a piece to rebuild depending on tip price! Seems to me someone found new tips on ebay any pointers on how to find the right stuff? And would it be good to change to 2 hole tips or is it more differances in the injector than just the tip?
