Default Fuel Injector Questions?

When installing a new LS6 intake I think I might have busted an o-ring while doing it. Where can I got to just get another set so I can just change all of them? Also, one of my friends said to try and buy a type of grease to put on the bottom of the injector to help seat them into the intake? Anyone know what kind of grease/silicone he was talking about and where to get that? Thanks.

I don't know where to find the O-rings, but you need White Lithium grease, just rub some on the O-ring, liberally if you'd like, it won't hurt anything if some slips by the injector, just try to keep it out of the injector tip itself.

You can find it at any parts store and most Wal-Mart type stores as well, and probably Home Depot/Lowe's and the like.

Hope that helps!

Yeah I saw the white lithium grease at NAPA today, but didn't realize that's what I needed.

i use Vaseline, if it slips by the o-ring fuel will dissolve it alot better than lithium grease
