RC injectors installation problem. smushed o-ring...
i'm using the top oring (the one that's on the bottom of the clips) that came with the RC injectors. when i tighten it down, the orings always gets smused. is this normal? their oring is half a size smaller than the stock orings.
i'm also using RC's bottom orings (the ones that goes into the mainfold) which is also half a size smaller than stock.
what should i do?

Are you talkin about the tiny green O ring that is at the very top of the injector like in this PIC? it's normal for that to get flattened when you put it into your fuel rail. For the bottom O ring that goes into the intake manifold use the ones that RC eng sent you.
