Are the injectors constructed in such a way they are port or starboard specific? It looks like they are unless something can spin?? Thx

Yes, they are port and stbd specific. Can't swap from side to side.

On the 60 degree motors you can.

Okay yea you mean the ones that go straight in not at a angle? Looking at motors on eBay etc I have seen the two varieties. I guess the 90 degree motors is when that changed?

when they had the problems early on with gas leaks ... fires... was that the bolts that held the injector on the heads were inadequate or was it the fuel lines connected at the injector? I notice the lines don't have any clamps. If you change an injector do you simply pull the line off then use a clamp the second time or what? Guess I should RTFM... ha
