Hi, have a 1987 Chevy Blazer, 350 TBI. I took the TB off and rebuilt it. I used an ACDelco rebuild kit. Putting it back together the instructions say to lube the o-rings with transmission fluid and rotate the injectors back n forth until they seat in the pod. Well, I could never get them to push all the way in. I weigh 210 and can push pretty damn hard and they just wouldn't go all the way in. So, I put the cover back over them and then evenly screwed it down, 1/4 turn at a time. Got the in and ran it. Ran great. Then within a day, started idling high. Took off aircleaner and noticed fuel coming from above the passenger side injector. Pulled the cover and the o-ring had been pinched somehow and fuel was flowing past it. I replaced the o-ring and put it together. Ran great. Then a day later the driver side started flowing past the the top of the injector. Pulled the cover and the o-ring was pinched. This time I replaced both o-rings. Put together and it ran great. Then a day later the passenger side again. This has happened 4 times on each side. I'm getting tired of buying and waiting on o-rings then pulling it apart and putting it together. Does anyone have a recommendation of what to do? Oh, before anyone asks, yes I put the metal washer in first before the o-ring. Thanks in advance for any help,
