Thanks again for your help

The injectors come apart pretty easily... just pry on the crimped metal cap and it pops off. Then press on the internal valve to disassemble. Pretty slick little device.

Note: If you have a micrometer or dial caliper handy, can you measure the extended / compressed length of your new injectors. Interested to compare the measurements with 1G stock and a 3G lifter I am buying form the dealer for testing.

Knock is nearly gone... planning to pull spark plugs in a week or so to see if they are burning cooler. Also planning to do a seafoam/water injection treatment to clean up combustion chamber now that I am not constantly dumping oil into the combustion chamber.
