Default What's the best way to seal the injectors to the head?

I just finished pulling the fuel rail for the 2nd time and cleaned the injector holes with carb cleaner and then tool cleaner and also cleaned the injector seals. I re-installed everything and there are still a couple small leaks coming from injectors 1 and 2. WTF. Any tips or tricks? Thanks

push as hard as you can.Use a rubber mallet or something soft to tap the rail against the injectors.

Default Thank you sir. I just used the soft end of a screwdriver and a rubber mallet to bang in the side...

that is leaky. We'll see if it helped. I also tightened down the bolts that hold the fuel rail down quite well.

Default I had a leaky injector too. Turned out that the upper o-ring was pinched and deformed slightly when

I was pushing the injector into the fuel rail. Had to replace the o-ring eventualy. HTH...
