Let's not forget post #5
Of course, everything depends on how much was removed from the injector seat and if it was done evenly but TBH if it doesn't work then it's not a big expense to replace with new stretch bolts and OEM washers and it's not a big job to remove freshly installed injectors (assuming no bolts were snapped).
I had to do this on mine because there was still a lot of dirt in the bottom of two of the bolt holes so when torqued down they weren't sealing properly.
Everything came out, all bolt holes cleaned all washers and bolts replaced. Took longer to clean the holes out than it did to remove the injectors second time around.
If the seat is now 0.88mm deeper than they originally were then using a washer which is 0.88mm thicker would compensate for this difference and the torque settings and injector nozzle height should be about right.
