Broken Fuel Injector Question Hey guys,
I was getting ready to install my 60 lb. injectors and noticed what's pictured below. The ring has not completely broke off, but is pretty close. Wondering if this will cause any problems. They snapped in the fuel rail just fine and I think the O-Ring will seal it OK, but I am just a little worried about it. I had these in my truck and you have to run a fuel rail spacer to get them to work right...I am assuming I may have tightened them down too tight or something.
Thanks for the help!

all that ring is for is to hold the upper o ring on the injector.. use a small heat gun and straighten it of working it with a knife or something to get it back to shape,, then take a small amount of epoxy resin (fast dry) and fill the gap using a tooth pick as an applicator.. right before its fully hardened use an exacto knife to remove the excess.. good as new
Good idea...thanks for the help! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that helped it seal. Thanks again.
