Injector Help

[jdanda at sunflower.com (James S. Danda)]

I'm in Lawrence. 

Based on the condition of the upper seal, Im thinking that these injectors and seals are original.
I think the bottom plastic retainer has deformed to the point that it blocks the lower seal from
being pulled out. I do see something down there which I can move with a long pick. Removing
the intake doesn't seem too hard, so I'm going to try do that.

  Jim,
   Where in Kansas are you??
  second, I don't think those seals can drop into the intake interior, they are most likey still in the injector port.

    I am trying to replace the injector seals on my 16v. I have a problem. Two of the injectors lost the bottom seal retainers. When I pulled the injector the injector came out but was missing the retainers for the lower(thin) gasket. I'm assuming its in the intake somewhere. I can see it is not on the plastic insert retainer. I think I can see it, but cant get to it.

    I am assuming my next steps are to remove the intake manifold, fish out the retainer, redo the injector inserts, buy two new injectors and put everything back together. My questions are:

    1) It looks like the intake manifold is actually two pieces, One from the throttle body over the valve cover and into the second which contains the injectors. What do you call this second (lower intake) manifold which holds the injectors and bolts to the block? Is there any problem removing it? I want to get any gaskets before starting the job.

    2) Anyone have two to four 16v CIS-E injectors they want to sell?

    Frustrated in Kansas,
    Jim

    p.s. Please ignore last post about being happy.....
