Maybe use diesel as the assembly aid?Hi,
I agree, use bosch injector seal kits or similar brand.
My apologies for moving off topic, you were talking about the lower seals at the tip of the injector unit.
I am graetful for your reply.
Measuring the indentations in the well walls to establish their diameter is good advice.
The shape may not be circlular but the o-ring should accommodate this. I guess viton seals would work in this application if oversize required?
I need borescope to inspect the lower o-ring well wall.
Is it possible the injector body has made the indentations due to a slight sideways force exerted by the hold down clamp?
Hypothetically speaking the lower seal could be damaged right from go. As when nstalling the unit it may not be diven into the injector well evenly.
There is probably mechanics hack to reduce the likelihood of this. Apply engine oil to the o-rings and well walls and gently drift the injector down in stages at the opposite side to the clamp to overcome the well wall ridges?
Your build is fantastic and a great read.
Cheers!
Mac.
