injector install?
Besides the socket trick on the harness anyone have any tips or tricks to make it easier to pull injectors and anything particular or any tips or tricks to make it easier going back in?

Take your time and don't drop anything down the oil return holes *ask me how I know*. Make sure to use a torque wrench on install. It also helps to watch srmastertech vids on YouTube a couple times since he takes you right from start to finish, gives you the torque numbers, and the tools he uses and any tips to help along the way.

Thanks Guys.. Ive got a hot no start I have dignosed and narrowed it to the injector seals. My question is I have 1 injector out and the seal is bad on it but will all the seals be bad for a hot no start or could it be just one or two injector? I'm going to pull all of them and inspect them since i have the rails out already but if only 1 or 2 are bad can i replace those or and solve problem? im sure everyone would say go ahead and replace them all.. But just curious..

One think to take advantage of is you smartphone
camera function for having a look into the back
injector bores to see that they are goos and clean
after brushing them. Than also make sure that you
don's have any copper washers down in the cup. That
will give you a bad day if one is there and you install
on top of it.

absolutely make sure you take your time-nothing worse then dropping a tool or part into the rocker box.
Make sure the bolts holes are clean and clear of all oil-if there is oil in the bolt hole proper torque will not be reached and you will NOT be a happy camper!
Also, When removing the injector make sure the little copper crush washer comes out with the injector and does not stay in the head.
Its pretty simple once you get the big stuff out of the way.
