Bringing this thread back from the dead to see if maybe these quad seals might be a good replacement for injector o-rings too. I see a lot of threads lately talking about blown injector o-rings, even factory ones. What do you guys think?

I think they’re too small to fit around an injector.

I wonder how many of those reports stem from installation errors on the part of users?

Whoops. I did not see the question until FS replied. I agree with his remark.

Good idea for anyone that has time to try the "improved" o-rings.

Perhaps if we can get the measurements nailed down and "donate" a set to Matthew at @Bitterroot Diesel , he could test them on his flow bench/equipment to see how they perform from the get go. Obviously this will not be a long term test, but it will give us an instant thumbs up or down for decapitation of the idea or giving it a shot.
