Thanks for the input guys!Keep it comming! I had my own shop for 10 years before I went to work as a service manager at a dealer & it is a different world than what I am use to.I just do not know what to do about this yet.It looks like all our seasoned techs are capped at $20 per hour but get incentives.I just realised what what was said about the ones that are in the know end up having to help the other less knowledgeable ones.Some ca'nt pass the test but do good hands on.This is tough & the boss thinks that it will be easy to do something else.Time will tell. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

I wanted some feed back on what incentive percentages & $$.I was assigned to revamp our techs monthly incentaves & wanted to see what other dealers are doing.Right now we have a bunch of available time so it will get run on shop time to keep their % up. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/fouet3.gifSome of the techs only but it is bad enough to try something else.Shame to have to babysit grown men but they are screwing the company the way I see it.We average 200 hours of work per month & also they average about 140 actual worked so we are trying to improve both.This is a International truck dealer but should be the same thought. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbup.gif Step by step brake down would be appriciated being I am shallow minded. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif

I have changed a lot of these injectors over the years & have not had this problem personally but have got referrals from other shops with this problem.Usually the deformed or out of round copper washer was from the cumbustion gasses overheating it sense it did not seal properly it could not dissapate the heat back to the cup IMO.I always have "seated" a new injector with a soft face dead blow hammer & you can hear when they seat properly.Also I have tried different lubes for the o-rings & the best that I have found is the Lucas motor oil additive, goes right in.I have also notised the upper hold down bolt would make a 1/2 a round or so.
