Hmm, maybe my recollection of the air hose is wrong, but if you have a
hose going into the head like it sounds like you have, you might just
have the air shroud injectors after all.

One way to find out for sure, pull one injector out (carefully! They like
to pull off the end of the injector and stay in the head.) and see if it
holds 1 or 2 o-rings. You will find the typical fatty o-ring at the top
of the injector, but at the bottom you will find a tiny little o-ring on
this little round......uh.....shroud.
