    Well I go to pick my car up from the shop after getting the new goodies installed and well when I get there I was told a few more mins its almost done.
    Well I wait for a few and walk back there and one of the injectors is shooting fuel all over the place and for about an hour after that they continue to try and get it fixed the head mechanic walks over and tells me the injector ring that goes into the block is over stretch and he needs to order a new one and it'll be here mon. Which by all means sucks ass cause my tune appointment was for tomorrow at 2pm. So no tune tomorrow and no clue as to how it will run Hopefully I can get an appointment by wed or Thurs. Yet another wonderful day for me this last week has just sucked major ass.

    I just really hope I can get it tune this coming up week cause I dont want to drive it no more then I have to.

    if u are talking about the 0-ring, u can buy those at autozone

    like kris said, we had that problem with my bugeye... make sure that they remove 3 bolts to remove each fuel rail

    They had it all broke down. I actually learned how to remove injectors with out pulling the intake manifold. I didn't think you could get those at autozone and the guys in the shop never suggested it. Oh well I guess he wants to make sure it wont leak and burn to the ground. I cant really get to pissed at the guy hes giving me hella discount and said if I could go through the week the week to get the car tuned he would take off and go for me.

    Ive never messed with the injector and was told it was easier to do them when you take everything off but after watching the guys last night I think its easier the way they were doing it.

    They're there to keep the fuel rail and injectors from being bent and leaking in a wreck... they're also a giant bitch to take off.
