serious injector issue????

i have my new DDP stage 4's in and i love them, but when i was doing the swap i found something that bothered me. lst time i swapped my injectors, i torqued the retaining clips on the install, and a month later i went back and did it again to make sure they were torqued right, and even.

monday night while swapping the injectors again i made a discovery that is disturbing, EVERY one of the retaining clip bolts were able to be lossened and removed with my fingers only, none were torqued and/or tightened. is it common to have to retorque them every few months or something? thank god none had come all the way out or caused serious issues etc.

Hmm. I know when we swapped mine again that all of mine were nice and tight. Guess I need to check on them again just to make sure.

After reading this I had to go out to the garage and check mine. It has been about 5 months and all of mine are still tight. I guess you could try tightening them a little more. I went 5 pounds over when I torqued mine.

Never had a problem with mine... take that back. Had one leaking once... but never used a torque wrench either! Don't even know the factory spec... just go fairly tight.
Sounds like your not going tight enough?
