Default leaky injector o-rings?
Hey, folks, new member from Raleigh NC here. Just got '88 Coupe, stock 306, T5, just has a few mods but looks racier with Weld big and littles.

One of my fuel injectors is leaking gas around the base. Is there anything tricky about replacing these? I know I need to bleed the fuel rail pressure, anything else?

Thanks!

I would go ahead and just re-ring all of them. Remember to lube them up when you put them back in.
