I thought it was funny as hell that there was a "car is for sale" sign at the bottom of the picture... I STILL do!!!!!!

So you obviously bought the car from someone who at least told you that you needed to pre-mix the fuel.... Kudos to you for buying it anyway.. most people would have been like.. WHAT?????? This aint no dirt bike!!!!!

YOU need to go find THAT guy and slap HIM for doing a half assed job of switching the car to pre-mix!!!!!!! Shoving RTV down in the holes.. Yeesh.

Ok. I will share the blame

And I wish I could slap some sense into the previous owner ...he was a member on the forums at one point. It wouldn't be nice to give his name out though.

That's understandable hailers. Thanks for the help.

That would work as well s the RTV that's on it now. But, crush washers are more appropriate, and would ensure a long term seal.

With the injectors gone, you're just sealing against vaccuum leaks there on the manifold.

^ On second thought, since there are no liquids, silicone tape is probably just as good, if it holds up to the heat.

I think I will leave them as they are. There have been no problems like that. As long as I seal up the top of the injectors I think it should be fine. That middle hole still confuses me ...but I will block it up anyway.

Just my humble opinion, and fact......the air that was going to the rotors throught the oil injectors (via the spider) AND the single nipple fuel injector air bleed nipple, were part and parcel of the idle bypass air when the car was in it's original specs. Just FYI.

I'm just saying that air, from the oil injector spider and the primary fuel injector bleed nipple, go into the rotors intake stroke (part of the air/fuel mixture). One day it was there when the engine was original.....the next day it was gone when the oil injecotors were plugged with the maybe the air bleed nipple also. It's just something I thought about once. Nothing of significance.
