Good 'old injector seals..................

[SimonV8ster]

Before putting a few things back together I thought I better purchase some new injector seals after some guidance on here. Talking to a chap who is a Land Rover specialist he told me that there are only two types of seals - one size is 9mm and the other size is something like 22mm. Measured mine - 9mm - bingo !!

Get the new ones through the post and they are indeed 9mm, but they are a slightly different shape - slightly taller so the 'wall' of the O ring is flat. Thought this might actually be a better fit but struggled to get it all back together. Thought I was there so pressurised the system and then petrol comes pissing out of an injector, struggled for a while and seemed to get it sorted, then another played up, and then my worst fears happend and the petrol pipe feeding the fuel rail started to weep so I cut the bloody thing off.

Ayway, I'm now about to start again. Do these seals look right ?? The one on the left is/was original - the one on the right is the new one

Thats what I thought I was getting !! Until they turned up and were taller than the previous ones.

Don't forget the one for the pressure reg, if you are replacing for old age

You can buy a head set for less than some are charging (even if you dont like some of the contents..)!

Indeed - wish I'd thought of that before I bought my inlet manifold.....then my rocker cover gaskets......and then my O rings.

Blimey! Some hefty prices there; got mine from 'Lucas' (which appear as on the left). Think they were less than 10 pence each; . . . . as should be expected.

Daylight robbery, if you can measure the old ones correctly, and select the correct material, then they are less than a fiver for a pack of 50 here.
