I can't be expected to hit a home run every time!

I took a stethoscope to my engine and transmission trying to find the "knock." I am pretty sure it's the torque converter/flex plate bolts.

For the past 2 hours I've been trying to plug the new injectors back into the fuel rail. I got 4 of them to go relatively easily but the other 2 have been tripping me up for a long time now. The 2 holes that I'm having trouble with are more rusty than the other 4 but visually speaking they look like they should work. I already tore one of my new o-rings, and I'm using Vaseline. I cannot for the life of me get these last two in. Why!? This was supposed to be easy >
Update on this. I ended up getting them in and it all back together but one of them is leaking where it meets the fuel rail. I also think I bent the fuel rail. Looks like more fun tomorrow. My jeep better take flight after this is done.

X2. Easy to do. Took me about half an hour to inspect the plate and tighten them. Can be done with basic sockets/wrenches.
