i have rb26 injectors, and when i pulled them, one of the pintle caps was broken off cleanly, it fits right back on the injector good enough to where i honestly think it could be glued back on with a dab of super glue.

i was wondering if there were any othe pintle caps that would work as a replacement so i dont have to order them, hopefully somethig american made or something the local Diesel Injection shop would have so they could replace it on the spot.

could i use a pintle from my stock 370's? or could i glue it back on? what are my options, i read something about maybe a mitsu cap working.

Thanks

take them to have them rebuilt and flow tested. they will replaces all the filters and caps........... should run you about 40-60 bucks and WELL WORTH IT!

I hear most people take them to hobby shops....... desiel shoulds should be able to do it too I would think.
