Default replacement of leaking injector seals

I noticed thatoneinjector seal is seeping fuel when I start the engine; it is part number 3 in this diagram:

Since, it looks like I have to pull the entire fuel rail, do you recommend I replace all seals to the 4 injectors: Parts 2, 30, and 29

Are there any special tools or complications? Will part 30 come out with the injector or is it pressed into the intake?

#29 & 30 are O-rings, they should be found in grooves at each end of the injector.

#2 is a kind of insulator so the injector doesn't get too hot.
#3 is some kind of cushion...

I'd replace them ALL because they're cheap. Any type of elastomer part will have gotten hard from age & heat. Once you disturb them, any of those things will likely be loose & leaky when you reassemble everything.

I got mine at Checker and they were NOT cheap. I believe I paid $12 for an injector seal kit by BWD Automotive, that was for a single injector!!! If you can search online for the seals. www.majestichonda.com might have some good deals...

When I performed EGR manifold and ports cleanout on my 94EX, the upperfuel rail/injector oring seals leaked on startup. I only replaced those seals and reused the large lower injector/manifold oring seals. I matched the orings w/ some from my oring kit and installed w/ oring lube (Nylog). No leaks.

Parts store wanted $7/ injector for an upper and lower oring kit, ridiculous.

good luck
