injector seals
injectors have started leaking recently. Anyone know where the stock injector seals can be found ? Or what works in its place?

there regular black O-ring that u can get at the auto parts store
well last time i tried to order gtir parts they called my crazy. So what do i ask for??
Where are they leaking from the top or bottom? If its from the top a bad o-ring is likely your issue. You won't have any luck at a car parts store. Figure out the size of the o-ring, it should be a standard size and go buy some at an o-ring supplier. I had one leaking from the bottom but replacing the bottom seal didn't help. It didn't seem to be much of a seal rather more of a rubber spacer. Anyway replacing the injector itself fixed my issue.
If its the bottom doughnut youll spend 12 bux each on them from japan. I had a pair of leaky ones. Took them out, found it was from miss-installment (the doughnut was slightly pinched) heated them slightly to regain shape (microwave for 5 seconds +/-) and reinstalled them with some RTV silicone. No leaks since. The upper seals were easy. Like Matt says, measure and get new ones (they slide over the top like a new o-ring on a paintball cylinder) or take one with you when you go looking. I got mine from NAPA.
...every silver lining has a cloud.
Ill give that a shot thanks for the info guys.
