Injectors leaking! Brand new seals!

[Pride]

Okay so my injectors are leaking pretty bad. I bought all new seals and o-rings from oriellys and put them in. Torqued the fuel rail to 13 ft pounds put everything back together and still leaking the same. There leaking from the head part of the injectors not the o-rings. Maybe a little bit better. Did this process twice and still same results. Just wondering if anyone's had the same problem or If they know a solution. Thanks in advance guys.

Did you put any oil on the seals before you pushed them into place? Forcing a dry seal can cause them to rip. You could also make sure that the fuel rail you're bolting down isn't bent at all or you're ever so slightly twisting it when you torque it.

just motor oil or is there a certain kind of oil i use? you could be right i didnt put oil on the seals should i buy a whole new kit again or just use these. there brand new and i havnt turned the car on just put them in and checked for leaks.

^ Even though that comment makes no sense to me did you install them per the manual?

Haha sorry about that. Yes I did install them using the manual on Cygnus. It didn't say anything about using oil on the seals though. It said to use gasoline on the o-rings and that was it.

Install, twist, tighten, repeat.

I had brand new Toyota seals that I put on my injectors and I ended up tearing an o ring. Pretty easy to do actually.

You can use gas or oil, I just oil on hand from when I was putting my engine together so I used it. As long as you didn't do it dry.
