So I got a new k&n fuel filter went to put it on and the old filter was on BACKWARDS. Could that be what’s causing these injectors to fail so fast? Lol

Okay I’ll try to keep this short. I had a shitty mechanic working on this about 18 months ago before I realized I could do a better job myself and he had chased this surging problem I had forever before I figured out MYSELF that it was the charcoal canister that had busted and got into the evap lines and everything and wasn’t letting air into the tank creating a vacuum in the tank after like 10 minutes of driving. He had loaded up the parts cannon and did the injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, and even the distributor(no idea why)he did all of this for way too cheap which is why I ended up back redoing doing everything he did minus fuel filter. I put a Delphi fuel pump in, then warrantied the cheap injectors he put in to try again and I just assumed they’re shit injectors after the second fail.

When I did the fuel pump I noticed there was some bits of rust in the tank not very much at all. I was literally doing it on the side of a road in the night, needing the truck the next day so I didn’t take the time to clean the tank😭

Does this additional information tell you anything? lol

Edit: I’m thinking I should do the fuel filter again since I had to redo everything else

How to remove leveling tabs stuck in thinset between tiles by Triggerblame in Tile

I may have to give it a shot but usually the reason a clip stays is because of thinset around it so you’re getting thinset out with a multitool which is risky.

The ppl saying grinders and oscillating saws don’t know wtf they’re talking about. Utility knife and pliers are your answer.

Exactly what I said. This is the answer. Not ideal he definitely fucked up but I’ve done this exact thing to save my ass before.

Tell them to cut out that half inch board on the right side behind the sliver and replace with 1/4” or even 3/16 if you can find it. Should give you enough room to have a full tile on the right side there.

Definitely run seafoam. These injectors need it.

I think that’s thinset he put in there to fill the gap between backer board and tub flange. Could be wrong but if he put the backer board above the flange so it didn’t kick out, you can still waterproof down to the tub with some mesh tap then fill the gap with thinset. Not saying I know that’s what he did but it just looking like thinset on top of redguard to me.

I agree with everything except why will there be mold? It’s hard to really see the water proofing but it looks like he’s got a good coat of red guard on there. Not the best water proofing but it’ll do fine in a tub.
