I found out my BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator is leaking internally...Im assuming its the check valve inside or maybe diaghram. It will leak more or less when I turn the adjusting screw, Right now I got it so its barely leaking at the psi i want(I can hear it leaking. Theres a bunch of little allen screws that hold it together...Anybody have experience with taking one apart? I dont have the money for a new one and my stock one is 1,000miles away from me. Is there like a rebuild kit for these or could I do damage if I just took it apart? I would hate to buy a new one if the check valve had a little but of varnish built up on it or something. Anybody know If I could take it apart without screwing up any gaskets or anything? :SNSign:

Yea, i had a fuel injector leak, sounded like some one opened up with a super soaker under my hood. Gas covered EVERYTHING! I took my coil out just to make sure i didn't ignite anything while i was leaned over the engine, then my dad came out there with a cingarrette hanging out of the corner of his mouth investigating my fuel leak I looked up and about had a stroke, here i am covered in fuel, leaned over an engine thats covered in fuel with him smoking. Oh well. I still got all my hair and skin, so im good.

Sorry, just thought id put that in there. I had to replace all my injector seals.
What had happend is that i had to take my head off and when i put the injectors back in, i didn't get one of the little O rings lubbed enough and pinched it while i was putting the rail back on it and it put a little knick in it, i got away with just switching the bottom ring up to the top of the injector where the pressure was, i just did that until i got another package of them.
