? during intake gasket job
hey all doing a upper and lower intake manifold gasket job on my 98 4.0. Two main questions right now. First, is what did those of u who has done this before do about the fuel rail gasket. In the gasket kits i got, I got a think gasket, and i got a think gasket that has silicone rings on it. the oe gasket is a think gasket with silicone rings. Can I reuse the oe gasket? looks just fine. Second, when i pulled the fuel rail, one of the bottoms of the injector fell off and went into the engine somewhere. I was unable to locate it when i took off the lower intake. Is this going to kill my engine? Im talking about the little cap like thing below the bottom o ring. Also is this going to mess up that injector if i dont have that cap?

Thanks, guys. I had the exact same thing happen last night. The circular piece that holds the o-ring on came off when I was replacing the o-rings. I put it back on, but while trying to get the fuel rail seated, I noticed that it had come off again, and it has to be in the cylinder. I stopped there, suspecting I needed a new injector. Thanks for confirming.
