Just that little chip in the corner? I wouldnt worry about that...but better safe than sorry if you can find one injector. Might be kinda hard though...

I had one of those nozzle ends crack in half! The are brittle! The dealership said I had to order a whole new injector or maybe it was a set. Either way I declined and got some sticky tac and pushed the 2 pieces back together and put the injector back extremely carefully. No problems so far.

autozone or any parts store will carry replacement caps and o-rings for your injectors and their cheap. I would recommend at least replacing the o-rings if you have the injectors out.

When you go to put the injectors back in, make sure to lube them up. DON'T use vasoline or pertrolium products. I know it sounds stupid cause of the whole" fuel is a petrolium product", but the seals will deteriorate faster. Make sure you use KY jelly or astroglide. No joke. Its water based and preserves the seals better!!! I swear that stuff is like WD40 !!!

the lower land on one of mine cracked pretty bad whe i was putting new o-rings on, i just put it back in and let it ride. i would just put'em back in. you should put new o-rings on though. if you go to buy a injector repair kit from o'reily or somethin then just buy 4 cause the kit comes with 2 o-rings each, one for the top and one for the bottom--same size.

This is Napa's P/N...3.00 per kit.

Get an extra as the caps can snap right at the very end...i found a socket that the pintle fit in (the pc you broke) and used that to seat em...they kinda hang there then "snap" into place...

I always use Vaseline myself......

thxs guys! yea thats the part # i have from napa also. website says 24 hrs. i think ill buy a couple of them to be on the safe side. other than that i have to say everything else went smoothly. the lower is on. and as soon as i get past this injector stuff ill have everything else bolted on in no time. was my 1st time doing this and i have to say it wasnt bad at all. even took a peek under the vc to have a look. should be lotsa fun when its time for some new heads to go on!!

ok napa had the parts!

now i have a new problem. how the freak does the vac lines go? stock intake had 2 hoses that i disconnected. the TF one has 4 and 1 of the 2 is a big a$$ hole. they gave me 3 things to plug, but not one big enough to fit that one. can i plug the big hole w/ something and use one from the opposite side?
amnit:
n/m i just picked up a new peice from the hardware store.
