injector install
Hey I was just wondering if anyone has any tricks for installing the injector clips on the TPI fuel rails. They are a serious pain. Thanks for the help.

erik69 is in Rochester too. Take your fuel rail over there and he'll show you how to take them out without bending up the clips.

Re: injector install
Lube the "O" ring a bit with something oily. Push the injector in to compress the "O" ring a bit. You might have to wiggle the injector a bit in order to get the reteining clip to start in the slot properly.
