Make sure that the injectors are not leaking at the new seals, and why did you have to do the seals in the first place? what was the original problem?

Sorry been off line due to no computer, if you are still having problems, check that the injector base seals are ok, with it running spray some soapy water around the injectors and watch for bubbles.
