Question POD washers

A UPS truck never looked so good ..... The man in brown dropped my pods off last night. The install kit that I have came with 3 different washer sets. I just wanted to confirm that the thinnest washers are the way to go and wont let the pistons slap the injectors. The medium thick washers (i'm guessing they are 0.40) were already on the injectors when I unpacked them. Any other removal/installation tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

I've used all 3... The thinnest washer give you the LEAST amount of smoke. Your gonna love the extra power! If you have a set of round brushes then clean out the hole's with one and then I use a shopvac to suck the crap out afterward's.Also make sure that they OLD washer's are not left behind.And the back two can be pretty hard to get out! HAVE FUN!!

I guess that a warning should be made, the reason for the different thickness of washer is for the correct injector protrusion into the cylinder and the wrong depth can cause you mucho problems in the long run.
