injectors and electric cables are installed on the engine, so the engine is ready and waiting. ( no pics :oops: )

Good luck and please keep us posted.

Last weekend, we tried to start the engine.
It run's, butt only on 2 cyl. :(

After some investigation I found the problem.
There are 2 bad injectors (tested a few weeks ago ??)
Yesterday I have replaced the bad injectors and it's running fine now 8)
