Injector O-Rings

i'm going to install my new injectors some time next week i think and i was wondering if i could use the nitrile o-rings you can get at harbor freight instead of ordering some from the dealer ship or schmucks or some place.

i just need the 2 round ones near the tip, i have a good set of flat ones for where it sits into the mount for vibration.

O-Rings for the injectors are really cheap insurance from vaccume leaks. esp if you still have the old fuel system that's hell to get off.

there are absoultly NO nissans in the yard, theres a few subarus and the only car that had similar injectors had its engine pulled.
no mazdas, hondas, a few carbed toyotas, thats pretty much it.

they are making room for the clunks

then stop being a cheap *** and spend the money on new rings

even at $2.66 from the dealer your only spending $15.96
