Injector hold down nut torque #
What are you supposed to torque the injector hold down nut's to? I just got my truck back together, put the injector's back in with new washer's, and a couple of them are seaping fuel. So I guess I need to tighten the nut's down a little more?

Did you clean the bores out well before installing the injectors? If there's crap under the coppers they won't seal no matter how tight you crank down the nuts.

I'm pretty sure I got the bores cleaned out well enough. I had the head off the truck for surfacing and needed to pull the injector's for the same reason. While the injectors were out I disassembled them and cleaned the tips, I got to thinking and realized that my fuel leak could very well be from an injector body not being put back together tight enough. The injector in question came out this morning and I tightened the bodies a little more, so far all is well.
What kind of things should I look for when checking to see if the injectors sealed properly?

OK, the fuel leaking has stopped, so I got them sealed. This was my first time pulling and re-installing injector's, so I just wanted to be sure that their isn't anything else I should be watching out for.
