TC 29 injector gasket

[dqdave1]

Took apart injector as I saw a slight leak. Need gasket that goes between the halves of injector. Looks to be plastic. Not shown in parts breakdown. Included photos of injector with gasket on and off injector.

That is for production use, it’s not an assembly part.
Toss it in the trash and don’t look back..
Torque the bottom nut to 50-55 ftlbs..

With this said, the slight leak I saw is not coming from here? Should I remove bottom section of injector and replace copper crush washer?

R u saying u only removed the top section of the injector.??!!
And the bottom half is still screwed in the engine.??
I sure hope that’s not the case..
Regardless, the bottom half should be removed, the 2 halves torqued back together and the bottom gasket changed before torquing THE ASSEMBLY back into the head.

That is correct, saw plastic gasket piece broken, removed top half of injector only.
What is concern of removing only top?

Did u notice the spring and shim.??
The plastic piece IS split..
