Where can I get fuel injector o-ring other then dealer?
I have just dropped my 2.3 block in and I noticed that the upper fuel injector o-rings where they go into the rail have dried out from not being in the manifold while the short block was being done. I know that the dealer sells the upper o-ring, but at $15 for 4 of them I think that the price is outrageous, especially as I need 8 of them for the Delphi injectors at 2 per injector. Does anyone know of another car that uses the same size o-ring on the top of the injectors? Auto parts places stores sell o-rings, but they come in all sorts of different sizes.

They are not 'just' o-rings. They are a special substance that is impervious to fuel. Auto parts stores sell them if you can match the size. You really don't want to use generic o-rings and have fuel spraying on your hot engine.......

Yes, there are actually two types of O-Rings, Bunna-n and Viton (SP?)
The Viton (SP?) O-Rings are prefferable because they are less prone to dry-rot cracking from contact with liquids such as gasoline.
