I had a factory 370 die on me the other day. I have spares lying around (because I'm crafty like that) but have successfully destroyed one trying to install it.

What I did was put the cap on and slowly tightened the screws, this broke the outer lip of that injector. At the time it was very cold outside, I have since brought the injectors inside and will try again when its a little warmer. My thinking is the plastic will be more malleable when warm. I got two more shots before I'm forced to upgrad my fuel system.

AND POINTERS? or TRICKS?
