    Default New b16 intake manifold...fuel leak?

    My buddy put an aebs intake manifold on my b16 and now it leaks gas from the top of the injectors(i think?) and makes a nice little puddle of gas on top of my intake manifold. We replaced the o rings on the top of the injectors but saw that the material on the bottom of one injector was half missing. Maybe i need to replace the other grommet below the o ring? It boggs like its not getting fuel too. It ran fine for about an hour.
    Would i be ok using injectors from a 97' b20b??? Only cause they have less mileage on them, around 40k.
    Lmk IA.

    either the seals have done bad which happens.

    or

    they are not fully seated.

    always put some oil on the o-rings before you install them in the rail, or you will tear them...
