I just smoke tested my 80 and found two spots where I have leaks to address.
First, I have a pretty good flow of smoke coming from around the fuel injector on cylinder 3. I imagine there is an o-ring on the outside of the injector that has probably failed. As best I can tell, these are original factory injectors with 300k on them. Would it make sense to preventatively replace all of them while I have it all apart?
Second, I am getting the tiniest wisp of smoke from the area where the distributor meets the block. I replaced the distributor o-ring last summer. I suppose there is always the possibility that I damaged it upon reinstallation, so I'll take the distributor off and check. If that isn't it, are there any other seals in that assembly that I can service?
Thanks for any insight you can share.
