[BFix] Leaking injectors???

[Allen and Pam Wells]

Sounds like it is time to pull them all out and soak them in FI cleaner for
24 hours.  Then hook up the connectors to 12V and blow them out with some
PSI.  Did that to mine and they work great so far.

HTH,

  Well, just got another call from him and he has all 8 spark plugs out and
turned the key on to push out any fluids that may be in the cylinders and
after only a few cranks he now has gas running out of all 8 spark plug
holes!  This is getting interesting and I'm stuck at work and can't go look
at it.

  The pump only runs when the engine is running or cranking or for a couple
of seconds after the key is turned to run - it won't keep cycling because of
a leaking injector.

    Well, he just called and said he drained the oil and it has gas in it.
He is going to check his return line and make sure it is not plugged up. It
is all new line except for where it enters the tank. I have a fuel pressure
gage I'm going to take over and see what he has on the Hi-pressure side as
well.



    Oh ya...he now has some new push rods too.

    If they did fill up with gas then yep it could bend a rod. If he left
the key in the on position and his injectors are leaking then the pump would
continue to cycle as the pump loses pressure.  In theory it sounds good but
I have never heard of it happening.

      OK, I just got a call from my buddy I'm helping swap an 88 5.0L into
his EB. The thing has been running good after we got the vacuum line hooked
up to the MAP sensor. Last night he went to start it and wouldn't roll over.
The old battery he has in it is pretty tired so he tried to start it again
and it blew a "heave mist" as he said out the throttle body. On the 3rd try
it did start but now ticks like crazy! He pulled some plugs and found them
soaked with gas. Further investigations found 7 of the 8 intake push rods
are now bent. He has rechecked his timing and it is OK. He is thinking the
injectors may be leaking and filling the cylinder with gas. Could this bend
a push rod? One other note. He *thinks* he may have left the key in the run
position after the engine stalled out on him earlier in the day. Would that
allow the pump to keep building pressure at all?


      TIA for any suggestions on where to look next.
