Default lube injector o-rings

What should I use to lube the injector o-rings? I just put my drivers side 4 in but didn't lube them. Should I take them out and lube them up tomorrow? Probably huh?

Also, where do I relieve the fuel pressure on the passenger side? I didn't bother doing it on the drivers side. I just popped the fuel rail off.

Also, since you wont have any pressure in your fuel system either way after the install, how do you prime it again? Just turn the key to the ACC position?

Thanks fellas.

I just used some spray on silicone lube but if you already got them in you should be ok the lube is to ease installation. I wouldn't worry about relieving pressure from the system it bleeds down pretty good on its own if you let the car sit for a while cool down you should not have much pressure. After your all done just turn the key pump will prime the system on its own.

Right on brotha. Yea a bit of fuel dripped out from the rail but I was expecting that to happen. I looked at the passenger side after I did the drivers side and said F it...it's hot and I'm not feeling that ambitious.

I havne't started my car since i've started this novi install. I think I'll hold the record for longest time to install a supercharger.

NEVER use silicone to lube them. The service manual calls for engine oil. Silicone will fubar O2 sensors.
