Default Trick to injector install?

I am having one hell of a time getting the fuel rails re-installed in my 1998 LS1 is there any tips or tricks you guys can give me. I can't seem to get the back injectors to seat...

I tried a search, but got everything but the answer.

the intake is ON the engine, I haven't needed to take it off Just have to upgrade injectors because of the turbo.

they should just pop in man with no trouble at all...i would look to see if your using the right height injectors as stok cause they do may different sizes...or maybe you installed them incorrectly

Mine didnt make the pop noise nor did I "feel" them seat in after I put them in...
I just put dielectric grease on them and bolted the rails on and everything is working fine.

Spray some carb or throttle body cleaner on the o-rings right before you set the rail in place. Works better than grease IMO.

Rub some vaseline on the o-rings. Only a small amount and they will slip right in. No pun intended.

+1. Just be careful not to get any on the nozzle of the fuel injector.
