I ordered a rebuilt one off ebay and a new sc and tb gasket. I also ordered new injector o rings but i am waiting for the new charger to come in and i was wondering if there was anything else i could be doing besides cleaning? And also i removed my injectors and i need the little plastics pieces on the very bottom of the injector under the bottom o ring because some of mine r cracked and i have no idea where i could get them? Help would be greatly appreciated.

so long as they injectors are the same for a GTP and a Regal, I have the fuel rain from when i got another 3800 from a Regal to put in my GP. I saved a bunch of parts. So if so, how many injectors do u need? I need to keep a couple handy just in case some of mine take a crap.

YES. for sure do the LIM gaskets if you have not done so yet! if the GTP has coolant elbows which i think they do, get those! when you buy your LIM gasket set, it should come with the injector o-rings, at least mine did. (FEL-PRO)
ummm you could check to see if your front valve cover is leaking and if it is, get the recall done. if they aren't maybe you should get the recall done anyway. and if you already had it done and it's leaking, do them while you have it all broken down. lol.

The injector O ring Retaining disk that break off the bottom do not matter. FWIW
