so while removing my injectors i have a problem i cant get the copper washers out. I was wondering if any one had any tricks to get them out.
Not sure where the gasket comes into play there unless you meant washer but the washer is what the injector bottoms out on ain't it?The injecter threads have nothing to do with the sealing in the head. The copper washer is the only thing that creates a seal. Also the thickness of the copper washer does not set the injecter depth in the head. True... You could files the copper gasket down to drop the injecters deeper in the precups but are you sure the gasket will be the same thickness and be square to the seat in the head and injecter.... Not very likely... That gasket needs to be strong enough the handle around 500 lbs of cranking compression. No telling how much its being asked to handle at 3500 rpm with 12 lbs of boost added to the intake charge....
