Injectors
Does anybody have any tricks for installing injectors?
Ive been trying for 2 days to get these in correctly, but every time I do, these leak all over the motor. Tried lubricanting all the gaskets, but a lot of these tear when I install. Already have gone through 16 gaskets. Any ideas on how to smoothly install these so these don’t blow gas all over the motor?
Thank you!

First question I have is how old are they? I use Vaseline. It doesn't hurt a thing to lube the O-rings AND, using a Q-tip, put a small amount all the way around each manifold port and fuel rail orifice. Yes, it's 32 things to lube, but I've never cut an O-ring, nor had trouble installing them doing it this way. This same principle holds true for the dreaded oil pump O-ring! Lube BOTH the pickup tube O-ring, AND the port in the oil pump that it plugs into. Hope this helps....
