Check out my injectors and Spark plugs.
Injectors for cylinder 2,4 looked gunked up and some of the O-rings had nice chunks taken out of them, not sure how much damage it could of done ...
(clean one and gunky one)


This is the two injectors where the O-rings had chunks taken out of them.



and those also happened to be the ones where the spark plugs looked pretty bad ...


This is what the rest of them looked like...

It almost looks like that hole was not even firing....The "goop" was used by the installer to lube the oring for install.....evidently he did not do a good job, the orings should be replaced.....What that part done at the "other" shop?

One of the many...Not sure which one as a few of them ripped things apart from one shop to the next. My guess is someone took it apart one too many times and pinched/cracked some of the O-rings and decided not to tell anybody and just stick them back in there...some were "lubed" some were not.

No worries, I go to bed late and wake up late...perks of being "unemployed"

Got it about an hour ago then tried to go back to bed but kept thinking about the paint job and then said screw it and got up.
