LIM gasket

Im doing the gasket repair and I was changing the fuel injector o-rings and noticed that the metal washer under the rubber o-ring is missing and one is cracked. is this a dealer item or can I get this at an auto store or do I have to replace the whole injector?

GTP Fuel Injectors

Im done changing my LIM & S/C gaskets, but as I was about to change my injector o-rings, I noticed the metal washers missing. The metal one under the rubber o-ring. Im missing one and another is only 3/4 left.
Can I get this part somewhere or do I have to buy two new injectors?

Re: LIM gasket

Unfortunatly if its what I'm thinking of, your probably going to have to get an injector.

Re: GTP Fuel Injectors

You mean the little tips on the end of the injectors?

Did you take a look into the heads to make sure they arent broke off inside there?

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure your going to have to replace the injectors.

Re: GTP Fuel Injectors

Pic works.

Wow, I dont know. Did you buy replacement o-rings?

If it were my car, I might be half tempted to put a new o-ring on it and try and run it as it is. Just have to make sure the proken chunk isnt inside the head.
