While changing my oil the other day I noticed an oily buildup that I had previously cleaned up had returned. My initial thought was perhaps a leaking injector that may be rinsing schmutz from the outside of the cylinder head down the heat shield and then evaporating away once the engine is warm, but that honestly seemed like a stretch. It looks like this summer is going to HAVE to be the point I get my spare injectors refurbished and give the manifolds a proper cleaning and reinstall with new gaskets.
I had taken the picture with intent to post it and ask if anyone has seen a weird oily buildup like this on their 3FE, but when I attached the pic and took a closer look, I could see that my theory was not such a stretch after all....
Can anyone speak for Witchhunter Performance in western WA if they're still a good place to have OEM injectors refurbished? If I have my OEM injectors refurbished (most likely scenario), I'll use either them or Mr Injector, which is a short drive from me but currently a 3-4 week turnaround time. @cruisermatt are you still using OEM injectors and had you gotten them serviced by Derr? I remember you weren't pleased with the ones you got from Oside Tiger and popped an OEM set back in at the time. Just curious if you had gotten those (the OEM) serviced then or in the time since.
