16v Injector Shrouds...

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Yup, that's them.  Three of mine were smashed due to 
over-tightening of the brass injector holder.  There is 
also a fiber washer that goes under them in the manifold. 
 Pieces of the washers invariably end up in the intake as 
you scrape the remnants out.
