new o rings?

i bought new injectors for my tpi system but they did not come with new cllips nor do the old clips work for the new injectors. Now i have a leaky injector, which just started leaking... Are there bigger O rings to fix this problem or how could i go abuot this? either that or maybe new fuel rails? dont want to blow up my car!!!!

U prolly tweaked/pinched or tore one of the o-rings.

The smaller ones work, but I recommend non tear a car apart every other day people to get the factory equivelent replacment o-rings.

They are bigger than what u have.

Any parts store and tell them u need injector o-rings.

later

If you used Ford injectors they have smaller O rings.

don't worry about the clips either. I'm not using clips at all on my TPI.

I just changed mine, they were bigger. (not by much) But my kit came with a plastic cone to roll the new ones on. I had no problem.
