Injector install questions

[jlwelding]

A little late to the conversation but I'll throw this iron on the fire. Replace crossover tubes, I know 500 people reuse them but that 501 is me and yes it will bite you in the azz. I had a dead cylinder miss that I tore down 3 times and my I told you so brother said its a cross over. I blew them out all 3 times but there was crap inside one that wouldn't come out with air and that's all it was. Also they are a softer metal designed to crush(that's how it seals) been there done that.

My crossover tubes didn't have filters in them, and looked pretty new. I assume they were changed when the injectors were changed. I reused them but put new orings on. Seems to be working fine for now. Once I get the 150s rebuilt I'll order a new set of tubes

I have to assume this is the filter everyone speaks of. The part with the 3 triangular holes in it. 

 

I am one of the ones that still have the oe ones. Mine appear to be of very hard steel. I chucked them in a drill to spin them while polishing the ends with a scotch brite. The chuck did not leave a mark on them. I thought they were made of tool steel, the late models any way. I have heard the early models were different but have never seen one.
