K well I just installed my injectors and everything, but when I was putting the box away that the injectors came in I noticed a little thing of lube. So it got me thinking and I search on here and sure enough it says to use the lube on the o rings. So do you think that since I didnt use any that my o rings wont seal right? Cause a leak or maybe even flood the injectors?

The only issue might be a leak. The lube is there to facilitate the install of the injectors.

Has anyone ever installed new injectors with out using anything? I just curious if anyone else has had an issue when not using any lube.

If you don't lube them they'll tear up right away. I know....

I installed mine before realizing the need for the lube but I haven't had any problems.

If you don't use lube during install you run the risk of ripping the orings or crunching them.
