In Reply to: Has anyone put bmw o-rings on the mustang injector posted by Todd Q., 88 535i on September 16, 2001 at 18:32:10:

Worked well for me. I thought that the Mustang O-rings were too loose for me to trust them, when BMA sells stock injector O-rings for $0.64 (or something like that), it was false economy for me to save $5 and have to pull the fuel rail out again if they started to leak air...

Just take your old injectors with their hard O-rings and stick them into the manifold and wiggle them around, do they move a lot? Then stick the Mustang injectors with the O-rings that came with them, do they move a lot more? Then figure out how comfortable you are with the difference and go from there. I was not comfortable as intake side air leaks can be a PITA to diagnose and fix.
