Sorry to be too lazy to go pull the cowl to check, but does anyone know if the same injector marking rules apply to the GAMI injectors?  Have been happily flying behind a set of them for more than a decade and never really thought about clocking them during reinstall after cleaning (or remember reading GAMI instructions that said to do that).
Thanks,

Thank you, Vol88, for reminding me of the actual instructions. Note the arrow doesn't have to point exactly down: anywhere within a 180 deg of arc of "not up" will suffice to minimize fuel  dripping out after shutdown. If you're concerned with ram air hitting the opening, you could point the arrow down and slightly forward.
Like Kelly, I didn't want to over torque these things. I stopped at 40 in-lbs if the arrow was down. If necessary I went to 60. If that didn't work, I removed the whole thing, cleaned the treads with a toothbrush and tried again. That usually worked!

I don't know...However, since they are just injectors with the restrictor more precisely drilled, I expect they would be the same.

I found I had the orifice holders clocked opposite what they should have been, so clocked the vent side away from ram air but wasn’t noticeably different. Of course maybe now I need to retune orifices, my next project to see if it makes a difference for peak egts.
