How do you ensure that you have seated an injector properly?

Is there a measurement that I can take before and after I swap my LL for a regular AD that will ensure that I have the injector in all the way. It seems that I need to properly crush the copper ring. Any suggestions or proven methods? Thanks.

Just lay a straight edge across all injectors.And make sure you tighten down the hold down bolts good! Dont over do it but make sure they are tite.

Hmmm, the only one I need to do is the #8, which I believe is against the fire wall on the driver's side. I was thinking I would have enough room to tap with a rubber mallet if necessary. Sounds like that may not happen eh?

aren't you guys worried about damaging the solenoids? :eek:

when I did my injectors, to crush the copper, I tapped them in, torqued them, untorqued them, tapped again and torqued again...

On another note, would a truck start and run if the coppers weren't 100% crushed?
and perhaps, would it later die and completely not start LOL
