Hi all! I have a special question to those who have changed their poppet injectors to MFI. My new BWD spider came with a new bracket, a bolt and a spring washer. The manual claims that this bracket is different from the stock, however I do not see it. Both brackets even have the same number stamped on the side! Old or new, both seem to be loose even when the bolt is tightened to the specs because of a special shape of this bolt. Did anybody use some extra lock washers or whatever to make the bracket sit tight? Or is it designed to be loose? I am lost...

unknown at this time.
Leave it loose it is supposed to be like that. And lube the hell out of the body o-ring or the plenum won't go down evenly and you won't be able to pull the injector body up afterwards to ensure the connector will be completely seated.
