one last thought about epoxy -- that's probably what's
in the connectors on the engine -- ex. sensors, etc -- for
the seal and to hold the connector pins in place .... could
even be a component in the injectors ??

Also, epoxy will (should ?? ) stand as much heat as the
wiring on your engine (of course, the injectors are in more
direct contact with the engine heat).
