Help advice needed!
Had an injector replaced but looks like it had been overtightened. Leaking fuel badly. Think head/thread needs work. Is there a way of doing this without removing head?
 
If thread was damaged in head you should see and hear some blowing just fuel and BlackC55 has good point.
 
Could it be the seat was cut/lapped incorrectly or not at all?
 
I had two leaks after fitting my injectors back in. First one of the pipes was a little loose. Then the next was the valve that screws into the injector was a little loose, i think from when i opened the fitting first. Re tighten and it was fine again.
