1982 300 cd mixed up fuel injector parts

Ooops.... While cleaning fuel injectors and installing new Monark nozzles I may have (repeat MAY have) inadvertently mixed up two of the lower body parts. The injectors are cleaned and assembled and look terrific. I am wondering if I am ok to install them and if there's a problem it will be obvious; or, if I need to proceed to things like bench testing or other procedures. That would be sad. Ideas?

Cheers, George

1982 240D Abnormal inside both tire wear ??

Hi. Wanted to get your idea on why I would be getting abnormal tire wear on the inside of BOTH tires. I do have some steering play which I attribute to needing either new idler arm bushings, which I just ordered or perhaps in need of a reconditioned steering box. However, I can't see this causing the inside of both tires to wear. Is it possible the camber is set too far somehow? Thoughts?

Thanks
Dave

'79 300TD oil filter housing leak

I ran a little low on coolant the other day (not sure why...), and the engine got hot (almost 200 degrees according to the gauge on the dash). after i filled the radiator, i noticed that oil had started leaking from somewhere on the engine. a can of brake cleaner revealed that the oil is leaking from under the oil filter element housing cap. so i changed the oil and filter and filter housing cap o-ring ('cause it was time for an oil change anyway), and tightened it down really tight, and it is still leaking. A LOT.
