Default In the middle of install... Need help ASAP!

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of my LS6 intake install, and found this on injectors 2 and 4...







Are these okay to go back in? I have no idea about what's fine when it comes to an injector. Please give an answer soon please guys.

Thanks in advance,
Allen

If you didn't plan on changing them, I say try it to see if they leak. The oring is what does the sealing and if it isn't damaged it should work. If they leak, they are easy to change.

Thanks to all that replied. I figured it out with some thorough searching. I pulled what remained of them off on 2 and 4, oiled up the o-rings, and put it all back together.

I noticed that the bottom of the injector ports on the LS6 don't seem to have the little retainers like the LS1 intake does.

I vaccummed out the ports thoroughly and heard when the pieces got sucked into the tube. I made damn sure that I didn't have any stray pieces of plastic in the motor.

Yeah, its OK to run them like that. Those plastic wafers are just there to hold the O-rings on.
