Gday fellas.I dont know about you blokes.But i shouldnt of drank straight scotch last night,lol.Im glad i dont do that everyday.Dont normally drink eh.Was wondering why the fuel smell was comin in the car and could smell a lttle around the front too.Turned out i had 2 leaky injector o-rings that had petrol bubbling out of em.****,arent i bloody lucky i wasnt incinerated.Shouldve acted much earlier eh.Have taken the whole section off were the injectors go on,stripped and degreased it.
Young players please take note.Fuel smells under the bonnet are BAD.Do a check around where the injectors go into the motor. For anyone whos looking for reco injectors if they dont already know.Theres a bloke on Ebay out of Melbourne selling em for a bloody good price.Does the rack test and new injector kits,the lot.I picked up 6 VS injectors for $129.00 +$11.00 express delivery to Sydney.Theyll be here shortly.Ill post the pics before i put em on.I reckon thats bloody good.With warranty as well and has great feedback.
Sells heaps of other parts as well.Big carbs and injectors for V8 Commos.I reckon theres quite a few bucks to be saved here for sure.Gees i might hit the scotch again seeing ive saved a packet.If anyone wants his details.I can put em up. Well.Had to start givin a little back to you blokes,seeing youve helped me with heaps.Thanks again fellas.

No offence mate, but can you please break your post up into some paragraphs as it makes it a lot easier to read.

And yes that sounds good for the injectors.

You possibly could have saved even more if you'd only replaced the "O" rings which cost pennies. Unless the injectors are faulty there is no point in replacing them.
