Quick fuel injector question
One of my fuel injectors will turn slightly with my fingers, the other 7 are solidly in. Is this normal or should they all be tight?
Thanks

The injectors are held in place by the fuel rail and/or fuel rail clips.
They should turn/rotate with the o-rings on each end.
After time and heat, the o-rings can become brittle enough to leak.
If yours are leaking, you've been playing with them too much.
Replace all the o-rings asap, or before the engine burns down the front of your Vette.

Thanks. No they aren't leaking, but I've only run the car for maybe 20 minutes total since I got it a couple weeks ago. There is a lot on the "To Do" list during the winter, maybe changing that will be on it. And, no. Haven't been playing with them too much, I just noticed one was looser the the rest.
