Yes, came with new o-rings. not at the base where it threads into the engine. Now, trying to figure out why so much smoke. Looks mostly white, but might be slightly blue.

I have run straight used vegetable oil in it. Maybe I clogged the line from the fuel tank. It has a new fuel lift pump, but maybe if the line is clogged, it's running lean?

Thoughts?

geez mate, this is a GM holden VL forum most of the discussions here are about 304's and RB30's (6cyl nissan engine) which is described above. and the injectors seat into the head and don't screw in, somebody maybe able to help you but these are petrol engines we are generally discussing. welcome and I hope you solve your problem.

might I redirect you to somewhere like this:

vege oil LOL its not a Diesel, or the diesel project car running on used chip oil.(Top Gear)

the o-ring sits in the intake runners injector holes and the Injector Pintle (plastic spray nozzle on Inj) slides in so the o-ring is around this nozzle making a seal.. that's where ur leak is,,,

or as stated u have a vac leak around the throttle body/plenum chamber..
