Re: [DML] Fuel Injector Seal

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be careful with these if your car is boosted. (Turbo) Loose injector seals 
can be pushed out by positive manifold pressure. Best to replace them with 
tight seals on a boosted car. (The teflon tape will work on a normally 
aspirated car, however.

Also, I would personally avoid using ANY silicone sealer on these as they 
are "upstream" from the lambda probe which will be poisoned in short order 
by even trace amounts of silicone.
