head change, injector washer question.

[phoenixroxy]

hi, upon fitting my new cylinder head i have found the small injector washers dont seem to fit in the head as well as the old head. note:not the copper washers the small raised disc washer that seal at the front of the injector.

has anyone encountered this or fitted the injectors without these washers.

ok i found out why the washers dont fit. there is a top hat shaped insert which is fitted in each injector hole of the old head. the new head doesn't have these fitted so i need to use the old ones. problem is i just spent 3 hours trying to get the old ones out and cant get them!!!!!

can anyone help with a supplier of these parts?????

cheers Derek.

Hi I think the parts you require are called Heat Shields,just make sure when you talk to the supplier.

thanks very much for the replies, i'll phone those places tommorrow.

i checked the diagrams on lush projects and can confirm that its heat shields that i need.
best replacing all relevant washers also.

i found a site called allmazda.net which supplies all these parts but i've never heard of them has anyone used them.
i googled the PN numbers off lush projects and got a link to that site
