Busdepot didn't want to sell me a fuel injector until I checked with the list. I removed the fuel injectors from my wasserboxer to transfer them to my Tiico inline-4. The hard plastic (ceramic?) tip of one of the four injectors spins in the injector body (the other three don't). The injector seemed to be working on the wasserboxer as gas mileage/idle/driveablity seemed to be the same as ever. Busdepot suggested I check with list members to see if a spinning injector tip was within the realm of normal, or if a drop of epoxy applied between the injector body and tip (not near the stainless steel needle valve in the tip) would fix it. They sold me a clutch kit, but didn't want to sell me a $90 part unless I needed it.
