Default Help installing FMS fuel injectors...

I'm installing a set of FMS 24# fuel injectors in my L98 - for the second time, hoping to eliminate any chance of a vacuum leak when I'm done.
I have a coulple of question for folks who have done injector R&R.:
1) Do the runner gaskets go on dry, or do you use some kind of gasket goo with them?
2) The o-rings on the manifold side of the injectors don't appear to be as thick as the originals (diameter is OK). Do you use the o-rings that came on the FMS injectors?


TIA

Though I don't know about the O-rings, the runner gaskets go on dry.

Are you coating the O-rings w/fresh oil? This should help them seal.
