injector install question

I removed the stock injectors for service and now it's all clean and ready to go. I already install the injectors back in the fuel rail and was wondering if there is anything i need to do the secure the injectors back on to the engine.

By just tightening the 4 bolts from the fuel rail to the top of the engine, is that enough to secure the injectors?

Thanks.

I would recommend testing for leaks before you bolt them back to the engine/LIM. You can do something like this:

I'm not sure what your confusion is, yes you bolt the fuel rails back to the engine with the original bolts.....2 per rail.

I'd highly recommend testing the injectors to make sure they click before putting them back in. Mine were stuck closed, even though I just had them cleaned and flow tested.

crap, another problem!!!

ok, I tested for leaks - thanks Mahjik - and no leaks...HOWEVER, i have another problem...

There are 2 bolts holding the top fuel rail to the engine...it's either I over torqued the bolt or the bolt was too old - I end up snapping one of them! Sooooo...am I going to have any issue in the future?

I would think you are going to have to Easy-Out that bolt and replace it.....
