Hi Everyone,
I just finished fixing one problem only to get myself into another :-). I tried to install some of the new monark nozzles from mercedessource. I tried to be very careful and clean when reassembling the injectors after replacing the nozzles and thoroughly lapped all the mating surfaces with fine sand paper as described in the guide.
One thing I was not able to figure out is how to remove the old crush washers from the engine to replace them with new ones. Because of this I left them there. Any tips on how to remove these would be much appreciated as they seem pretty stuck in there and there were no hints in the manual I received.
In any case the car started up after the air was purged but as the engine rev'd just a bit I heard very consistent knocking, very noticable, so I shut the car off.
Any ideas for what is causing this?
I'm planning on just opening up all the injectors and putting them back together and reinstalling hoping that there was some kind of assembly mistake.
