CCV Doghouse Orings
About 3 weeks ago I replaced glow plugs. At that time I installed new OEM Ford orings under the CCV doghouse. Lucky me had a leaky injector cup 2 weeks later, so i got to go into the valve covers again. Anyhow, one of the two large orings was stretched out and both were already kinda soft - presumably from oil.
Is there a better alternative out there to the OEM orings for the CCV. I know the OEM oring has a unique shape to it. I see that diesel orings sells a normal oring for the doghouse made of viton durometer 90.
The oring was stretched enough that i couldn't get the doghouse to seal nicely. I can't believe what it looked like after 3 weeks.

The BEST thing to use is old injector o-rings. 
I have a pile of them. Y’all can PM me if you need a couple.
Didnt I start a tips, tricks and hacks thread a few years ago??? I’ll have to look.

Well, last night I looked at some injector orings and thought that could work. I tried the pink one and it fit perfectly. It seems to be a much harder material and we know those last being exposed to oil. I actually think it fit better than the OEM. It seats tightly on the doghouse and doesn't move when you are moving or installing it.
Then this morning I see that 2 of you have suggested it. In the hundreds of posts I have read about the CCV orings, this is the first time I have seen injector orings suggested.
Anyone have them in the CCV long term? Did they stretch?

LOL, I thought I was going to post up my discovery today and be a 7.3 legend of some sort that finally figured out a good solution for the CCV orings.
