Default Help installing injectors/ fuel rail

I got my fuel rail back from Injectorrx.com, Pulsation dampeners capped and injectors all cleaned up, new o'rings The injectors are not on the rail. I assume I seat the injectors on the rail first??? Then set that all of the unit in near the holes in the intake for the injectors and just start inserting the injectors to the motor???
I have read that lubing the o'rings with motor oil is all I need to do.

Yes, insert the injectors into the rail first, then set the assembly over the engine, line up the injectors at their ports. You must lube all of the o rings first. As you set the rail in place and sort of guide the injectors into their respective ports, it will seem that they don't really go deep enough in, this is normal. It takes patience, using your fingers to be sure you have the injectors in far enough. Be sure to push down firmly, evenly, the install the bolts holding the rail in place. As long as you didn't bend the brackets or anything, all should fit
