I’ve got a pretty bad chuff on the rear passenger side cylinder. I’m thinking I can pull the engine then the head, but am looking for a shop locally that would be able to install new guides if that turns out to be the issue. Any recommendations?
Also, if someone has a recommendation for a shop...
Updating to close this thread out.
The advice everyone gave was spot on, thank you for helping out even though it should have been obvious Haha.
I pulled one washer out with the old injector, but apparently the previous owner had double washered that injector, so I used a long bolt to thread...
I fished one out with the old injector, then pulled the new one back out when it was sitting high and poked around to see if maybe they had been doubled up but that didn’t seem to be the case.

I went out and checked, and the factory controller has been removed completely.
There is a wire running from the drivers side battery positive to the momentary switch in the dash that then runs back out to the hot...
I'll have to doublecheck, but I believe it has the controller replacement kit installed which has a relay similar to Ford starter relays. The big round unit that normally mounts to the fender.
