reworking the line ends:
using emory cloth, make sure the line end (each end, each line) is smooth and not deformed.
using a small drill bit, carefully drill out (open) the holes on each end of the line. start with a bit size that is just larger than one that will fit in the hole, and gradually work towards a larger size. be extremely careful to not let the bit get jammed in the line, or punch thru the line itself.
why is this important? you are making sure that each hole in each line is equally the same size. it does make a difference. each cylinder will be making the same power as the rest--as far as the fuel system is concerned.
this makes a huge difference on mechanical pump diesels (ex: Caterpillar), which use the same constant injections fuel systems---the same as your CIS on your P-car. the type of fuel used is of no importance, gas or diesel, the principle is the same.
I have done this myself on my Euro and Dad's US spec, in addition to the 047 injectors with great success.
