Default HELP: need O rings!

I have a used set of RC injectors, which I cannot use my stock honda injector's O rings with. My stock are from the B16 240cc injectors and they are too thick to fit. Do I need to order the O rings from RC? Could I buy them elsewhere? I really need them ASAP.

Thanks,
-Mike

Use some lube or something to help the "slide" in. If you force them you are gonna break them.

Spit, oil on your finger. some kind of lube for the o-rings. just make sure its clean and don't force it. Use tender loving care.

Well I lubed them up and still didn't work. So I ordered them from RC $2.50 a pop.

OMG, I recieved the O-rings from RC thinking that they would be thinner. Turns out, they are identical to my stock O rings. THEY STILL WON'T FIT! I lubed them and pushed, twisted, nothing! The O rings fit in the manifold, they fit on the injectors, but they will not "slide in" by any means arghhh... any suggestions? Could I hollow them out with a drill?

Again, I have 310cc RC saturated injectors and I am trying to fit them in an AEBS manifold. The car was originally OBD2, but I soldered OBD1 injector clips to make these troublesome RC injectors work. (the ECU has also been converted to an OBD1) HELP?!?!

Well, I decided to cut the outer edges off the old O-rings by a hair using an exacto knife. I placed them in the bungs on the manifold. Then I put the new ones on the injectors, doubling up, and they slipped in fairly snug. When I tightened the fuel rail down, the injectors were secured with the new upper rings sealed against the manifold. I've started the motor for 15 minutes and no leaks. Once I drive the car, I'll conclude this post. I know this is kinda makeshift but if it works, it works. Plus, I'd rather keep the peace of mind having to replace a $2.50 O-ring rather than new injectors or a manifold because of an error from modifying...
