I'm leaving this forum and have deleted all my work in this thread.

I have used Mr. Injector. Make sure when you reinstall to put some Vaseline on the 0-rings to create a good seal. The ones you found should be fine.

Those o-rings fit probably hundreds of cars with bosch style injectors. There are kits on rockauto with two o-rings in them (for top and bottom) for about $1.50 each kit.

Though that rebuild kit might be a good way to go.

You dont want to use Vaseoline in o-rings. Vaseoline is petroleum based and causes o-rings to swell and break down. Use silcone grease.

This is true, I stand corrected. Use KY Gel instead.

This worked for me. However if you really want to clean the injectors in the Ultrasonic Cleaner you need to activate them while they are being cleaned otherwise they stay closed and most of the inside will not be cleaned like you think.

Rebuilding them takes nothing. Hardest part is getting the old filter out, which is not hard at all with a screw and a vise.

I purchased a used fuel rail and 8 injectors off ebay, cleaned and rebuilt them in a couple of hours.

KY also makes things swell.
