injector holes
I removed the old fuel injectors, which I
thought were oil injectors? They are located just above the center two intake
ports on my 4-port 1989 13b turbo engine. If you look inside the center
two ports, you can see a small oval disc which is tilted at approximately 45
degrees, slanted down towards the interior of the engine. Were these
fuel injectors or oil injectors? Also, should I take needle nose
visegrip pliers or similar, and try to break away those two slanted discs that
now would have no purpose, or just let sleeping dogs lie?
Hi Paul,
If they're mounted in the center iron housing,
they're fuel injectors. The slanted disks that you refer to are "air
bleeds", and are plastic assemblies that can be removed without having to
break off anything. Attached is a picture of one of my
injectors, with all the parts laid out in order of assembly. You'll
see the air bleed on the left.
Cheers,
Rusty
