Re: [DML] Cleaning Fuel Injectors

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The injectors and fuel lines are very easy to change, remember to do one
line at a time and you will have no problem. Make sure you use new copper
washers on all of the connections and also get new injector seals and clips
while your at it.

The waterpump replacement is a job for experienced mechanics. You WILL break
off bolts and they will need to be drilled out. If you proceed with the
waterpump replacement, changing the distributor cap, rotor, and sparkplug
wires at the same time is the way to go. I believe there is a waterpump
instructions in the tech section on the DMC site. If you do it yourself part
time plan on the car being down three to four weeks.
