   Bill,

   That is interesting. I wonder why with the Leman why they didn't
   angle the
   injectors straight into housings. They could have moved the slide
   throttle
   much closer to the housing then.

   I could agree with you if we use the standard Mazda type of injector
   because they can be mounted very close to the inner wall and for all
   intensive purposes be flush and shoot through a sealed 2mm dia hole..

   In the last few days I have come across the ethanol compatible
   Multec 3.5
   injectors from Delphi. If you download the PDF you can see what
   concerns me.

   There seems to be a depression about 4mm deep and 12mm in diameter. Even
   placing a donut spacer in the bottom of the hole would result in a
   5mm by
   4mm deep volume. Would two of them make a difference in lowering the
   compression?
