Message	Yes, I have been considering it. (The other thread, linked in my first post, has much discussion of the new harness or new connectors I would need, etc.) My understanding of the cost is: $500 plenum pull (as I recall from last time) $700 6 new-style 555cc injectors (cheaper than old-style) $100 new connectors (a wild guess actually) And all that just to get back to where I was before the injector failed. Grinding the plenum looks better and better. If I did the full lower-manifold modification, I would probably switch to the huge injectors. Once upon a time the 740cc injectors resulted in poor idling, but that problem might have been overcome recently. - John
Follow Ups	My gut feeling was right: injector #2 is dead - Technomancer 17:20:46 02/26/04 At least #2 isn't too hard to get at. Sorry to hear man - SeedyROM (ZCON 2K4!) 17:27:14 02/26/04 I find the grinding solution distasteful - Technomancer 17:37:29 02/26/04 yes (n/m) - EricTTZ 17:48:36 02/26/04 You've never seen it done, have you? - SeedyROM (ZCON 2K4!) 18:19:11 02/26/04 OK, I'm sold!

Don't worry it's really - Spongerider :) 17:54:16 02/26/04 carbide? (n/m) - NC_Z 18:00:28 02/26/04 Thank you.

Just curious... - Technomancer 08:40:10 02/27/04 maybe a tad lower, but I've had so many other problems - boileralum 14:22:03 02/27/04
