I took my injector housings to work today and mounted them on an angle plate on the mill and machined the heads off the 8mm torx screws. It took some work to break the gasket seal and a little prying to get the coolant horns off. The screws were so severly corroded that while I was working them back and fourth off the screws there was red powder coming out everywhere. Tomorrow I'll drill the screws out and chase the threads. Then I'm going to have to flycut .02 off the mating faces. The edges got a little dinged up prying them off.
