Yes at the four corners where the rubber end gaskets meet the side gaskets. Felpro gasket kit will show that in the instructions.

Press it up into the fitting and pull out the hose. It won't give you a snap sound or anything like that to let you know it's ready to pull out. Just press it in and pull. If necessary, use an open end wrench that's about the same size as the hose and press on the back of the clip and pull the hose out. Take extra precaution not to bend the fuel rail.

Regarding the sealant, I would take it one step further and put some around the coolant ports on each head. They are at the front and rear of the head. A total of 4 ports.

Thanks qdeezie. I've got the rail unhooked from the injectors but that dang hose is giving me a hard time.

Grab a shoestring or rope and tie the injector rail up to something on the firewall or just lay the rail over to the side. It will give you more than enough space to lift up the intake.

Well guys I got the gaskets changed and put the rail and injectors back on with new o-rings. I got tired so I'll put her all back together in the morning. Here's a pic of the engine
