OK... I'm a little confused here guy's. I just purchased a chilton's manual "AFTER" my injector install, GO FIGURE, and it is saying to replace the insulators because they are not reusable. Now... are they referring, or talking about the little spacers in between the intake manifold and the injectors, or what? Because... I reused my original spacer's when I installed my new RC 550's. Do you guy's think I Should have bought new spacers or insulators if indeed that is what they are referring to? Also what did some of you guy's use to lubricate the little O rings on the injectors with? I used just a "LITTLE" dab of clean motor oil on mine, which is exactly what the chilton's manual says. I just want to make sure I did this install correctly. Thanks!!!!
 
The insulators are the pieces that go around the injector and into the head. Don't RCs come with new ones? Seems I remember getting them with mine, but that was so long ago I might have ordered new insulators.
I always use a small amount of motor oil also.
 
Your fine, if there isn't gas leaking then don't stress out. If you've done a leak test and the seals aren't leaking don't stress.

You can get new o-rings and seals from RRE for like $15
 
Thanks guys for all of your help! I really appreciate it! Now I feel safe enough that I can move on.
