    Question Injectors, Changing tips

    Ok got a set of whites. Got bored tonight so id thought about changing the injectors in the 850 t5.

    At 1st i put the injectors in the intake manifold complete with the Blue seals which suround the injectors.

    I primed the rail and fuel pi**d out everywhere.

    So i took the top seals off the orange injectors and put them on the white's.

    I fitted the injectors into the intake then pushed the rail down on top.
    (is this the correct way?) or should i put the injectors into the rail then push them into the manifold? i primed the rail and only number 4 leaked?

    Obviously idealy ii'm getting new seals put should i put the injectors into the rail 1st then into the intake? or The other way round?

    injectors should be all in the rail then pushed down all at once into the manifold
