Default Seating Injectors...

Anyone have any ideas on how seat the front right 2 injectors without taking the intake runner off. I have the plenum off now, and those injectors seem to be leaking at the base. I don't want to take everything apart because well you probably know... I've already done that once.

Also, how do you remove a stripped out torx bolt. The shop that did some work on it last didn't leave me any thing to work with.

Stock 86 with new 24# Accel GM injectors.

Thanks

Injectors seal with O rings. You have to pull the injector and replace the O ring.

On the screw; sometimes you can use a Dremel and cut a slot across the head and use a regular screw driver if it isn't too tight.

If you suspect that somethings not right, better take it back apart and remove the o-rings and look for nicks or cuts. Always put some lube on them before installing if keeps them from getting damaged.
