Default Changed the Plenum and now two injectors are spraying gas

Title of the post pretty much tells the story...changed to the huges plenum plate got everything together and injector 1 and 8 are now spraying fuel??

Is it as simple a fix as getting new o rings???

Reused the old ones and was having no problems prior to the install, had a harder than expected time getting the fuel rail to seat on the individual injectors, any tips for reinstalling the little metal clips??

Thanks

you just need new o-rings. you should probably replace them all.

Replace them all, alot of times you can cut even the new ones if you don't lube them prior to installing them. I squirt a little PB Blaster on them. Also be careful when pressing them into the intake because some of the injector ports on the fuel rail are square and can cut the upper "O" ring when pressing them into the intake.

Do everything he said. Replace all of the upper and lower O-rings and lubricate them when installing them on the injectors, and then lube them again when installing them into the fuel rail and then the intake.

+1 on what he said also check and see if there are any burrs in the passage before you put the injector w/ new o rings in
