When I was using the ('95) 3100 injectors, I use the 3100 retaining clips, I have since switched to 19 lb/hr injectors from a Mustang and have no retaining clips, since the slot that the clip would have slid into is closer to the fuel rail connection, and would hev made sealing an iffy situation, I have had no leaks but I do reccomend using some sort of retention.

use the stock 3100 retaining clips Eric, theyre the only ones that will work for this the MPFI ones dont clip on the same spots and way as the 3100 rail does.

Cool, I'll take another look at the 3100 clips.

Thanks guys

Ha! cool!

i just went through your pics you posted!

hehe look at those nicely ported peices... assembled heads and custom pushrods...

looking good if i do say so myself... hehee :wink:

i got your cheque yesterday Eric, thanks man. im sorry i havnt mailed out the Full Receipt to you yet. my printer took a dive on me.. its on my 'puter just need to print it off. i'll get it out to you, dont worry.

ah good pics of the engine assembled.. its coming together now eh! very nice. should be really sweet to see what you run for times!

how did the pushrods fit? everything seemed good? no obvious fitment issues? hope so i measured those things 10 times. just to make sure that was the right size LOL.

keep me updated! i'd love to see more pics sometime.

No worries about the receipt colin, whenever you get a chance.

The pushrods seemed good. Although my brother did most of the installation work, as I was the gopher who ran across town 4 times to the dealership for little things I forgot. He didn't realize they were custom until I told him, and he did infact comment on how good they looked when he was fitting them in.

I did notice the rockers were seized up from the shipment. I had them soaking in oil the last couple of days, and that seemed to do the trick. I'll take a brush to them, and clean up some of the surface rust that started on them. Thats weird if ya ask me. Such a short period of time, and they started to do that.

Now I have a couple of more questions about the injectors.

I know in all the stickies up top, it says to use the stock mpfi injectors, as the ecm will have a conflict with it. But what I'm not understanding is, how does the ecm see the different injector? If I used the stock injector wiring harness (modified to accept the different injector), couldn't I get away with that? I always thought the resistance was different, causing the ecm to puke. But I measured both sets of injectors today, and 12.4 ohm for each. Or is it more of a problem of to much fuel being sent when using the new injectors?

My second question is more of a maintenance thing, but i'll post it in here. Is there anyway to clean the injector while I have it out? I was thinking about putting some injector cleaner into the rail, and hookup my injector tester to pump it through each injector. Anyone else have a different suggestion?

Thanks
