I take the three spacers between the head and rail and cut them in half on the bandsaw - but only in the interest of them losing a blade-width of material. This makes the rail sit about a millimeter closer to the head assembled, so the injectors press into the seals more. This mod is batting 1000 for me and I do not see a downside.I got enough put together to run a boost leak test, and wow, glad I did that. Air is pushing around the tip of Cyl4 fuel injector. If I push the injector tip into the seal with addition finger pressure, then it stops. I need to check the spacers and see if I can get a little tighter tolerance on the injector body.
I am a little surprised really. I did not have a spacer issue with the other head. I will do this if my next attempt after cleaning the spacers does not work. I’m also adding an additional o-ring round the tip, that might seal in the port tighter.I take the three spacers between the head and rail and cut them in half on the bandsaw - but only in the interest of them losing a blade-width of material.

Nice. Heading up north in a few weeks to do some fishing. Should be a good time.Reporting to you now from a remote corner of Canada, where the power is out, but the TV, SAT, Internet and phone are still on - thanks to the amazing power of "burning gas" in the generator. Lord, the sooner I can get this place on a all house battery, the better!
Its a puzzler, not seeing the source of the leak yet. I just don’t understand how I can have steam and gurgling sounds coming from cylinder number two but there is evidence pointing at cylinder four as the problemWow, that is a big time coolant leak. I'm surprised it wasn't hydro locking while cranking. Crazy. I guess the head will need pressure testing but sure as shit with a leak that big it will be easy to find.
