Default Injector O rings... $11 each??!!!

this is a ridiculous price for these things. Does anyone know someone that has them cheaper?

AB and RN are charging this much

$22 for a complete set with new filters. I bought these about a year ago and have not had any problems. I figured if I had it apart I should replace them all.

I'd bust out the micrometer, measure the existing rings, and then order some from McMaster Carr.

Then post here the size and MC part number for future reference.

I know orings for an 03 f150 will fit. Can't remember which size engine, but its in the link in my signature somewhere. That's what's been on mine for a year now with no issue.

I also used the ebay kit about 6 months ago. No complaints about the parts. Getting the old filters out can be a huge pain in the ***, but the new parts are spot on.

I've done the eBay kit as well and it worked great.
Just remember to check that all the o-rings seal before you install the plenum by jumping the fuel pump relay.

I'm buying the hg kit from AB and it looks like they are in the kit in the pic. But I'm still going to measure and post the numbers.

Also worth verifying that you haven't accidentally caused one of the injectors to stick open, which would result in the cylinder loading with fuel and hydro-locking the engine, then spraying fuel everywhere when you pull the spark plug to empty it, and subsequently starting small fires across the bottom of the engine compartment, which are incredibly difficult to reach and put out before they melt wiring insulation, vac lines, and coolant hoses.

Just saying...
