I bought the injectors from GOWESTY. I did adjust the passenger side injector holder  because of it seem to loose. I did wire brush both metal holders and spray painted them. I suppose I removed a lot of rust therefore changing some specs of the holders. I thoroughly cleaned the injectors area with forced air before I took them out. The injectors on the drive side can be wiggled slightly when I handle them in the carriage. Should this be? How do I shim an injector if needed? I do have an extra set of the rubber washers that came with the set.
