when putting in the injectors in the fuel rail, i can't get those grommit things into the rail are they supposed too...i remember them being in there, but it seems really tough, too tough to get them in

You have to kinda grease them up a little before you put them in ...use a little Vaseline and ease them in or you might rip them.

Is vaseline ok to use on those? I know it effects some rubber/orings & causes them to swell? I've heard people recommend motor oil, you just don't want to get it on the inside of your fuel system.

I thought oil would eat the rubber Orings.

just read in the chiltons book that you should use oil, so oil should be okay

The FSM also specifies motor oil on the injector o-rings. You should push and twist the injector when putting it in the rail. The twisting helps avoid pinching the o-ring and cutting it.

OIL use OIL, that little bit of oil residual isn't going to harm anything it will help you out a lot more.

Are you talking about the grommet thing or the O ring? The O ring goes in, the spacer or whatever they call it sits between the rail and the injector. I use a LITTLE bit of motor oil on O rings and they slide right in.

I assumed he was talking about the o-rings, I'd like to see somebody try to stuff the injector sheet into the fuel rail.

I just put the o ring in my mouth and then pop them in.
