Was just putting on new return lines and have a real problem now with #3. Unscrewing the #3 injector line was VERY tight compared to others but it came off. When going to reinstall #3 line I noticed that it did not want to sit straight on the threads yet that was how they wanted to start while using just fingers to start the threads. Is it possible the last person who worked on that line cross-threaded it but it still sealed? So now the injector line nut/cap? won't tighten enough and fuel leaks--truck isn't driving anywhere now. Obviously something got stripped but I'm not sure if it was the injector threads or the threads on the injector line. I thought I once read that either the injector or the injector line was harder steel than the other. I haven't removed the #3 line to inspect the threads.
Should I order a new line and a new injector? The threads on the injector don't look bad. My current injectors are BB code--is there anything available that would match good enough? Or is it likely the injector line stripped and I can keep the current injector? This is all waaayyy more than I wanted to get into at the moment but here I am. Any tips or comments are appreciated.
