I'm trying to track down some issues with my '98 OBW with a '95 EJ 22 swap.

 

I'd like to swap out the injectors and I have a complete (but non EGR) intake manifold with injectors lying around. Grossgary and others have recommended swapping the complete fuel rails as opposed to pulling individual injectors. So, if you're pulling the fuel rails, you have to disconnect the flanges and tube which connects the right and left fuel rails... are there O-rings in there to seal the flanges? Is this a dealer stocked part? Can you get generic O rings at chain auto parts stores?

generally you can match the orings up if you take them with you. even if they don't have the exact size they'll have something nearly identical that will work. like standard instead of metric orings for instance. does the spare manifold have orings you could take with you to check?

 

good luck, these things can be annoying to track.

That's a good idea, Gary. I'll grab the old o-rings off the parts intake assy and see if I can match 'em up. Do they have to be special fuel resistant rubber or will any old o-rings of the proper size be OK?

When I swapped out my fuel rail because I was having injector problems with my 1990 Legacy I just used the exsisting o'rings and have had no issues whatsoever using the old o'ring. Probably at least 10k miles later and still no issues!
