fuel injectors are fitting very loose

Hi guys I'm goin a 6.0/4l80e swap in my 85 c10.. I have an ls3 intake and I just purchased some injectors on eBay for it but the injectors seem to be fitting loose on the intake side. Any idea why this would be happening? its the bosch injectors, part #

10 days and no responses. Dafuq? Did you ever sort this out?

The 0280158051 is a stock ls3 injector. It is 42lb at 58psi, It has a us car plug and is 38mm o ring to o ring. The Bottom orange o ring will not fit in a ls1 or ls6 manifold. Call 770-888-1662 on Monday. Those guys can get you hooked up with what you need.

you think that they are loose because you are comparing them to your old injectors that had the orings cooked harder than a rock. The new ones come with nice soft new orings and will make you think something is wrong. I get this all of the time. You sil ne fime. If you actually had a vacuum leak at the intake, you would know it immediately. It's amazingly loud, that vacuum leak.
