Hello
Found those two tiny pieces in a rebuild kit- what are they for?

the old injectors have those screws in the middle, the new one don't, does it matter?

and finally- the instructions say to put some 262 loctite on the screws. websites say that this is a permanent threadlocker that can be removed only by heating, some sites say it's for large threads. am i missing something?

They are little black screens that go in the side of the injector body hole, just under where the top big oring goes.As for loctite I dont use loctite on tbi's but the blue removable would be okay to use I suppose but not necessary ,don't use the red for sure.

What screws? I wouldn't put any thread locker on them. I haven't had any come loose before.

New injectors have them and i would spare the loctite and install the torx bolts dry they will be fine . 242 is the one to use if you don't feel comfortable not following the printed sheet instructions.
