Injectors, clacking noise etc

["Tobias M-G" <scirocco16v88@hotmail.com>]

Ok, after my little battle with the injectors I finally got them back in.. 
there was no time to get new ones, so I have to make due. What my german 
help yourself book recommended is soaking the seals in gasoline (supposed to 
form a better seal and help them slide in), which I did, and then used a 
screwdriver and hammer to lightly tap them into place. (they're still loose 
and leaky, but at least I can drive now)

The new intake manifold and leaky injectors gave the car a few hickups 
before it settled. Ok, question to all, what's knocking sound like when it 
happens (please no derogatory jokes - this is related to the car). Also, 
would this relate to the tapping sound seemingly coming from the valve cover 
once in a while (mostly when the car is still cool)? (no bent or whatever 
valves etc .. just something I have heard on the older vw motors)

Think that's it for now .. will see if all my wrenching holds up when I hit 
the road to monterey on friday (if not, should be plenty of knowledgeable 
people heading my direction hehe)
