It's kind of a PITA to do, but as old as our cars are getting, these soft goods need to be replaced. I don't see the need every time, but if it hasn't been done yet, then I would say it's time. Fuel leaks are bad news and can be dangerous and expensive.

I've probably given away 100 sets of fuel block o-rings since starting the gasket business....as a way of saying thanks to customers and because it's a safety item.

Hey, my 415 and SGC 350 are running great thanks to you! A little insurance goes a long way.

Point taken... anyone know how sensitive the fuel pressure regulator is to 'cleaning' etc? That was my main concern when cleaning the fuel rails.

Did flush the rails out and put the new injectors in with no problem. Actually was easier than I thought it would be. Now after reading some of the post I think I should change all the o rings out before I put the plenum on. Proably would be cheap insurance.

After flushing fuel rails I replace the O rings which I received for Jerry's gaskets. I was easy and I put the rail and injectors in the car. Put the coil packs and wires the I received for Jeff. Waiting for PCV hoses from White Racing to finish the job and hear her come to life again. Thanks for all the help.
