Fixed with a new set of washers
Smoking like a trooper now from exhaust lol. Got to take it off really to clean it, it's too bad under load to drive and burn off
HURRAH!

If anyone reads this **** poor attempt, things I've learnt are
Clean the seats (gently) of any carbon. I used a wide screwdriver and GENTLY scraped the heavy off, then a length of wooden dowel with 800grit wet and dry taped to it, GENTLY lol then a cotton bud taped to other end of said dowel!
Then I used a piece of clean garden hose taped into my vacuum cleaner hose. Compressed air would be better.
Use a little bit of grease to hold the washers on the injectors.
Make sure the washers are not just seated flat on the injectors but central as well.
Careful when you're sliding them down the injector tips.
I used new bolts on the injector clamps the final time as well. Would imagine it helped the seal. For £12 might as well.
When they're back in, run the fuel pump before you put the rocker cover back on and check for leaks topside of injectors. This was my undoing the first time. I had it licked, piece of ****. But one of the replacement o rings didn't do it's job. Once I'd found that and replaced it with an original one I'd had the injectors out a couple of times....washers were scrap then.
Take your time! The simple jobs can bite you on the arse

Mine ran perfect uncoded, couldnt tell any difference after having them done
The injector has two grooves but only the top one is for the O ring.
Could your runaway engine be due to fuel going into the turbo from the sump up the drain tube and finding its way into the compressor? Good job it stopped quickly.
Here’s a photo of my recent failed injector seals (above). I was beginning to doubt they were at fault until I pulled the last one with the black mark.
