A clean engine with all dirt and debris eithe blown or washed off the engine is a great start.
Removing the vibration clamps makes it easier to get the lines out of the way to loosen and change injectors.
Don't bend the injection lines, just deflect them out of the way.
Something like a copper pipe fitting brush is great for cleaning out the injector threads, vacuum out any loose dirt while brushing.
Lubricate the injector and O rings with engine oil, makes O ring install easier.
Install the top O ring first, roll the bottom one over the top one.
A dab of grease will keep the copper washer on the injector tip while you install it.
Put never sieze/ anti sieze on the injector threads where it screws in the head.
35 ft. lbs. torque on the injector
22 ft. lbs torque on the injection line nuts

make sure when you pull an injector the copper washer comes out with it

Dave,
Did you mean never put anti-sieze on the injector threads?

Got it Guy's. Never-Seez, been using a big can of Permatex Anti-Seize for years so I never looked for a different brand. Sometimes up here, in Hooterville, the different products are a little slow getting into the stores. Anyhow I looked it up and I'm going to get the Never-Seez and try it. It's got a lot better temp range than the Permatex.

Thx again!!

Both products will be very close in performance.
Both products have the same desired end result.

Being able to remove what ever you put it on after it has been installed for a while, hopefully without damage to anything else.
