I normal do act cautiously during repairs on her but have to report some 'victims' of my repairs I was not expecting.
Once the lower seal remained on the injector while removing the rails and I thought it was ok to remount it that way. No, it isn't. So I was wondering for one year why it ran a little bit rough at seldom circumstances. Lesson learned. I might even lost a little boost. So changing them is a hp mod.
Later, while mounting the CTSC fuel rails again I've pushed mainly on the fuel rail which killed two bushing. Lesson learned again.
Fiddling in the injectors in the rails even with engine oil is a nerve-consuming job...
Last but not least a CTSC fuel hose shows its age.
At least, after starting it up the engine 'purrs like a cat' (others might say runs like champ ).
