8 leaking injectors?? Sounds like your fuel sys is contaminated.

Not sure abt your setup, but some of the fuel inj Mercs had an issue with paint coming loose contaminating the fuel sys. I think it was in the cavity where the hp pump resides.
Regardless, you better get the fuel sys sorted out before installing new injs.

Do your injectors have screens on the inlet? Were they dirty?

They had the screens and the only thing I haven't replaced in the fuel system on both engines would be the injectors. Everything else including the hoses are new.

A couple of them had small hairline cracks, too. Better to just eat the cost and replace them all while the mistake...er..boat is still on the trailer.
