Piece of Injector Missing - what does it do?
The subject says it all.... I have attached a picture of what i'm looking at. 6 of my injectors have that little ring on them and 2 of them don't (they cracked off) and the ones that do have them look kinda crappy. I know its not seen when installed but I was wondering if it had any important funtion or if it was just for ****s and giggles. I have a set of 19lb injectors that have smaller rings on them but they don't seem to do any sort of function. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated because I don't know where to find those little rings and if I don't need them I'd rather not waste my time looking for them when I could be porting and polishing my intake :-) thanks again in advance

Just go to NAPA bring one of those injectors in and show them. ask for an injecto pintel cap they are very cheap. Only a few bucks for 8 of em. Hope I wasnt too late with this.

You were but its ok. Thanks for hte info. Actually I e-mailed the GURU at www.lindertech.com and he sent me a set for free (free shipping even). Quite the nice fellow. I offered to pay twice and was not answered with a price. Right now I'm only stuck on my wiring diagrams but no one seems to be answering my requests for where I can find them. *shrug* I 've searched the site to no avail but I'll find one sooner or later
