LB7: Lb7 fuel leak

[gmasko]

I am by no standards a mechanic and after much hesitation and reading and researching I decided to save money and do injectors myself. This was about 128k miles and now have 130,500.

I heard a know that I assume is an injector but I also came across this.

It's leaking where the h/p lines connect to the injector and its spilling out on the valve cover. What could I have done wrong here to cause it to leak so I can do it right. Yes I am making oil also.

Did you replace the HP pipes when you did the injectors? If not the old ones need to be really cleaned well if there being reused, if any debris got in there at all they will leak, gotta be torqued to 30 ft.lbs also

No I didn't replace them, which made me nervous cause I was warned about it. I did soak them in carb cleaner, and then thoroughly rinse them out as I read somewhere on here. I guess trying to do it the cheap way just didn't work out for ha-ha.
