Default LR3 valve block oring size

Replaced the o'rings on the valve blocks and realized I have a small air leak due to some of the o'rings being the wrong dimensions.
Anyone know the correct dimensions, or where I can buy the CORRECT oring kit?

Every kit I have seen has the correct sizes. Are you sure you installed the correct ones? They kits are for all three blocks after all.

Were your old o-rings visibly damaged?

I had success just R/R original o-rings after an open/cleaning out the dust.
Holds air like new.

Unfortunately I do not have the old o'rings, left them out at a family members shop and they got thrown out.
That's why I'm asking if anyone knows the size of the original ones.

Are you sure its not descent contamination on the new o-rings? When servicing valve blocks is best to replace the dryer desiccant as that is often the cause of leaks. Once that is done, wait a couple weeks for the small desiccant powder to get out od the system before servicing valve blocks. Of course double check your line connections, cant tell you the number of times people have a leak and it ends up being the connections after servicing the block.

Already did that. And made sure the line connections were good. And when I did the soapy water test after putting in the new o'rings, the bubbles were coming from the wiring harness.
