having problems getting fuel injectors back in..

Well I tried clipping them on to the fuel rail first and then putting the fuel rail back on but i can't get the injectors in far enough. I can get them in enough so that the o ring seals them but i can still see the o ring.. I may be wrong but i thought that when the injectors are in all the way you can't see the oring. I'll get a pic up ..

no need.

 

did you lubricate the O-rings with a silcone based grease (dielectric/siliglide/ etc etc)?

 

I sometimes find that spinning each injector while pressing down on the fuel rail gives the most satisfactory insertion. LOL

 

IIRC your doing a 3100?

Are you sure that the injectors aren't pushed to far into the rail? Make sure the clip is in the notches on the injector.

I repeat:

I sometimes find that spinning(turning them side to side) each injector while pressing down on the fuel rail gives the most satisfactory insertion.

 

this shoudl be done after they are all firmly attached to the fuel rail, BTW.
