Injector compression washers in Las Vegas?

Anybody in Las Vegas have some spare injector-to-head seal washers? I’m noticing a pfft-pfft noise that sounds suspiciously like I’m losing compression and I’m on my way back to BC. I’m stopping by the dealer and another independent in the morning but I don’t have high hopes that either will be able to help.

Thanks

You could probably get away with a solid copper washer from any parts store or harbor freight.

Before you go on a wild goose chase just spray some soapy water or blow some smoke on the injectors while it's running to see if you're right.

Thanks guys, Ben Gott at Retro Rovers let me use his forecourt and some tools. We are on our way again.

It wasn’t the compression washers. The exhaust manifold to head bolts had loosened. I hadn’t retorqued them after head install. (Don’t think I ever read that this must be done). Anyway, all good now. I’ll retorque again when we get home.
