Replaced all Injector O rings and still leaking ??

My injectors were leaking so I order new FIC seals and put them back in. They are still leaking. Anyone have any suggestions?

Are you sure you put them in good? I have fic injectors, and they were a pita to put in. Kept popping off of the fuel rail or popping out of the manifold. I ended up pulling everything off that was attached to the fuel rail, and taking off the stress bar to get better access.

It stays on the fuel rail pretty good but how deep should the injectors be into the Intake manifold? Also what do you mean about the stress bar?

Did you put the o-rings in dry or did you put a light coating of oil on them before you installed them? Mine were leaking so I replaced them about a month or so ago. I took the cap off one of my qts of oil and put some oil in the cap then dipped the o-ring in it before putting it on the injector and into the intake manifold. I've seen this recommended when installing these a couple times on this site. I would imagine it helps them seal properly. If you put them in dry something may be pitched or they didn't seal properly.

^ This. Just like the o-ring on your oil filter.
