99498, Need Help From Those w/ OBX Manifold
Posted by KKropat, Jun-23-06 01:28 PM
Is there a trick or something to get the stock injectors to slide into the ports? I'm having a hell of a time re-installing the injectors and I'm afraid if I use anymore pressure on them, I'll break them!

I have the VENOM manifold which is the same as the OBX really and what you need to do is just put some petroleum jelly aka vaseline or something along those lines, I personally use Assembly Goo but what whatever... and just put some around the o-rings of the injectors, use a little force and push them into place.

I set the the rail/injectors into place. Used a rag...and then a pry bar to slowly put pressure against the rail and they slide in with no problems.

When I put mine in I chopped the o-rings, so if you think you may have damaged them at all replace them for sure, cheap and easy to replace as long as your there.
