Default Positioning the injectors on a 3.4L

Well, I've been having quite a time trying to position the injectors in the holes when I'm putting the intake back on. Does anyone have any tricks while the engine is still on the car? I've tried with bolting the intake on first then putting the fuel rail on but that doesn't work.

put the intake and fuel rail on at the same time and put the new gasket on the lower intake. also make sure you have to 2 back long bolts in cause you cant put them in after its in position. and lube the injectors with some oil(dont get it on the inside of the injector,just the o-ring) and just wiggle it gently and use your eyes. It will slip right into place once you get them in right. it took me 2 days to figure out this process.

Thanks. I have the fuel rail bolted on the intake. It's just really hard to see back there! I'll get it tomorrow hopefully! I did lube the injectors and the intake gasket is already in-place.

ok and yeah you cant see or even feel that last injector in the back right. i just used my fingers to position the ones i could see on the sides and they slide right in.

No, they are the same size injectors and I did get the intake on and position the injectors correctly.
