I just realized that the block-off plate is not only slightly eccentric, but one of the holes on the plate is more of an adjustable slide, like so: http://www.aircooled.net/images/pphotos/mek0002.jpg So, it probably ought to cover the port in question then. >Using expensive injectors to <maybe> solve a problem like this seems wasteful >to me.
