Swapping in 440 2j injectors... why don't they fit????????

[Arrest_me_red]

im in the process of changing injectors, they were hard to remove, and now i can't get the new ones in all they way, i can't even get the stock ones back in now! i pushed them in as far as i could with my hands, then tightened down the retainer plate, but the plate is bending. i've made sure that there were no o-rings stuck down in there too, anyone else have this problem??

Are you tryng to put side feeds in place of top feeds?

Yes side feed for the stock fuel rail and use some petrolatum on the o rings so they slide in easier and make sure there aren't any o rings that came off the tips of the stock injectors and are in the manifold or any in the rail itself.

Try buying it a few drinks and spit on it? :naughty:

Seriously though, you probably have something still in the way... do all 6 ports look the same?
