Icon3 zc fuel leak

hey guys i have an ef with a small fuel leak. The car started smelling like gasoline one day after i turned it on. I found the source and its coming from behind the injector. Im not too technical so sorry if i cant explain it too well. The leaks coming from the seals behind the 4th injector. The thing is my ef hatch came with a jdm zc swap so i want to kno what part do i order? I kno the zc is a mix of honda motors and i dont wanna get the wrong parts. Or are all d series fuel rails/ injector seals the same? Any help would be apreciated guys thanks

Single or dual cam? shouldn't matter really....sounds like the o ring on the injector went bad. If you're gonna replace one you might as well just replace all of the o rings.

I think dohc zc is an integra engine, so o rings need to be off that one
but they're all pretty much the same.
go to the store with an injector or o ring and they'll sell you 4 o rings for anout 4.00 dollars. They need to be specific for fuel

CAUTION;
be careful when inserting the injectors into there holes, don't force it because you can break the cap at the end

You should also replace the rubber ring the injector sits on. The one inside the manifold

It's been forever since I've replaced injector o rings, do they not come with top and bottom rings? or do you have to specify?

nope, the o ring come by themselves, the rubber base is separate
They don't go bad often but might as well
