Default Upgrading fuel injectors

So, I just bought a set of the Bosch orange injectors for my 96' D1.

My questions are:

1) Do I need a new gasket for the Intake Plenum?

2) Do I need a new gasket for the Inlet Manifold?

3) Do I need to lubricate the O-rings on the injectors, if so with what?

4) Any other pearls of wisdom for me when installing the new injectors?

Thank you in Advance

Intake plenum will use a sealant, no gasket. If the RAVE does not call for you removing the intake you can avoid the valley pan gasket. Be darn sure if you do replace it to carefully align and make sure manifold to head bolts are not stripped. As the off duty village idiot I stripped all of mine following the wrong page in the RAVE (D2 vs D1). Valley will need some sealant on ends. You get new lip seals fore and aft, they dry out and break off in the oil.

Thanks Buzz! I will consult Rave, I'm hoping I don't need the valley gasket. If you ran into problems, I most definitely will screw it up as I am officially the "on duty village idiot". But, every day I work on my car I learn something new!
