vegetable oil wont swell the o-rings. If u are replacing the return line. I recommend takin the old one off and building the new one like it. Makes it easier when going back together.

they work good. but turning up the pump works much better. I replaced all of mine as they were cracked and leaked. (Long live the 91)

A shotgun cleaning kit will help to clean out the injector bores. Dont overtorque the injectors or you will distort the copper washer and cause a compression leak, 35ft-lbs is the needed torque. A deep 1" socket is most helpful.

Make sure you get the timing checked, new injectors will change it. When I replaced my injectors it caused my timing to be 4.5* too advanced.

If you have the money to spend on the equipment, and it isn't cheap. I just took my truck to a shop, only cost an hour of labor.
