on the business end of the stock injectors there is a plastic piece that seems to be a cover...is it a major problem if these are missing? I put new o-rings on the injectors while putting my intake back together and a couple of those plastic pieces broke off.

 

nothing yall can say on this?

 

I'm sure you're referring to the pintle caps. Mine broke when I took mine out too but I replaced them with 24# LT1 injectors and they're made differently so they don't have those. Anyhow, to the point, I don't know if you can use them w/out those but I'm pretty sure you can buy the pintle caps and they just snap on there. A second option would be to just send the injectors to Cruizin Performance and let them clean and flow match them for $10/injector. They not only clean and flow match them better than they were from the factory but they also put new screens, pintle caps, and o-rings on them.

 

cool...how is their reputation and how long is the turnaround? THX!

 

I have NO idea of what you are talking about... but I also suggest Cruizin' Performance. The turn around was 3 weeks I think.. I forget now, its been a while.

 

BTW...how do you contact them and where are they located?

 

here's the website... you have to talk to Rich Jensen

thank you!!

 

Not a problem... I hsould call Rich and get a discount..LOL

 

Did my intake gasket this weekend and some of my pintle caps were broken also. Looks like they help to keep the o-rings in place so I just removed the broken pieces and used them as is.

 

so how does you r car run now? did the missing caps seem to make any difference?

 

Got the timing set today finally and the car is hauling A*S. I'm looking to replace he injectors though. Just don't like the idea of them being in such bad shape. Working good for now though.
