I'm pretty sure I have an injector hat in my manifold. I have an Impala 00. All of the fuel injectors came out except one of them was missing the O ring and hat. So I'm about to wrap up this intake manifold job and I find the O-ring at the top of the hole. I have a vac and I'll probably try it along with a hanger to get it out but to take the mani off would be too much!!
A) Would it melt away?
B) How can I get it out tools recomended?
C) Can I just leave it in?
I already noticed that the injector was missing the O-ring and injector top/hat but I forgot to retrieve it while I had the manifold off. I replaced the injector with a new injector cause that hat isn't sold separately as the O-rings are.
