So true, Bob. But, on the other hand I never have to worry about flooding my engine and then having to take the spark plugs out, clean/replace, etc. So all in all, I'll take the one time 'O' ring gottach {:>). A silver lining in every cloud.

Don't you just love to spend hours fixing something only to find out it wasn't broke. I had a fuel leak on the primary injectors. The place it was leaking from was where the hose fitting connected to the fuel rail. Well, first I tighten things a bit, no good. Then I replaced the AN fitting screwed into the fuel rail thinking it has gotten scratched or warped - no good. Then I ended up replacing the hose side - STILL no good. Turns out one of the top O rings on one of the primary injectors was leaking, running down the rail and dripping off the fittings. Aghhhh! Two days and several fittings later, replacing the O ring solved the problem.

Thanks Buly,
It does seem to never end. My latest fiasco was a leaky brake. I
found fluid dripping out of the caliper one morning. Well, that has to
be fixed! Turns out I had had a minor incident while testing the oil
flow thru the redrive. Some oil had blown back and collected on the
underside of the gear leg. From there it ran down to the caliper and
dripped onto the hanger floor. The brakes are fine, at least for now.
