Fuel Injector Seal Kit
Does anyone have any thoughts on using the following fuel injector seal kit? It contains the filter and two Viton o-rings per injector. I am debating opening the injectors up and resealing (currently the rails are removed) but I would like to avoid paying the crazy amount for the OEM if possible.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
That kit is probably fine. I've never tried changing the filters. You'll be breaking new ground if you do. Use petroleum jelly on the o-rings and fuel rails when you install the injectors or the o-rings will tear and leak.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
Just send off your injectors to Deastchworks or some other injector rebuilding/flowtesting company. It only costs ~$20 an injector and you don't have to worry about breaking anything. Plus, you'll get a chart that shows how much your injectors flow and they'll be shiny again.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
I got my reply back from Mr Injector. He accepts Fuel Injectors still on the rail (he has a tool for removing them). This is the route I am going and they have already been boxed up. The cost is $17 per injector and with the flow test and cleaning it seemed like the most practical choice.
For those interested I will update with my results.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
Sounds like a good plan.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
I received my cleaned injectors back and here is the flow result (before/after). It looks like they were in good shape to begin with so I don't expect to see any redemption of performance.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
I forgot to mention that in the return package was a set of o-rings for the injectors to seat in the lower manifold. I installed them today and they seemed to fit fine.

Re: Fuel Injector Seal Kit
UPDATE
So just to be safe I ordered the OEM fuel injector seals (part that seats the FI into the Rail) and they seemed different enough to make me replace them all. I didn't have a caliper to read the exact measurement and they COULD have probably worked but better safe than sorry.
