I would ask if they replaced the copper washer for the delivery valve that they removed to replace the leaking o-ring, and if they used the special torque procedure when they assembled it. They may also have allowed dirt in which is now messing up that valve or the downstream injector. If they didn't use new washer or the torque procedure, there is your problem. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300
