Default dumb question

is this where the injectors are?



cause when i 1st start her up she doesnt run on all cyclinders unless i hold her just under 3k for a little while. never used to do this. but when i went Power Engineering last and also said by mates it sounds like an injector. well today i had a nose and the one on the right was loose i havent fiddle with it yet but just want to find out before i do tighten up or replace them all.

Default injectors

yep thats where they are mate, at the back of the rocker. I think they are held in by 8mm nuts and they also have a special type of washer. Very easy to remove but make sure they are seated correctly when refitted, the washers must sit flush with the joining surface.
