injector installation

Is it ok if I use Dawn dish soap to put the injectors in the rail?

you do not need to .. if you get new orings(even with old oring) they fit in w/o any issues. i've never had to use ANY kind of lube ever to install injectors and i've prob installed and removed 300+ injectors. if the orings are swollen that bad that you need lube to install them i would not run them as ther eis a good chance they could leak

I got em in, although the soap may not have helped. The whole injector thing has been a pain ever since I lost a retaining clip.

Hehe...I either use spit, or fuel. It doesn't take much, they should go in easy. If they don't, your O-rings are old or swollen and should be replaced.
