Spray each injector individually into a jamjar to get an idea of whether they are fueling correctly. Turning over for say 15s each you can get a rough idea if you mark the amount of fuel in jar

checked all injectors they fine , managed to get it running ok
 it was the inlet manifold gasket broke and the inlet itself only had one bolt in witch was to short to reach the head so it was silicone in  :shocked:  all the others were missing as well how it ran at all amazed me ,

now been fitted with new gasket and all bolts in seems to run like a good en till it blew rocker cover gasket witch must have been on its way as already been covered with hylomar sealer .

it was held on with just the two brackets either side of exhaust , at least it explains what we thought was leaky injector seals when they was sprayed and it was reving up, but obviously sucking it up inlet and not injectors  :whistle:
