deatschwerks injectors o-rings reuseable?
I installed my deatschwerks injectors over a year ago with new o-rings. I will be pulling the injectors out of the motor to inspect them. Will I be able to reinstall them with the same o-rings or must I replace them with new ones?

i have reused mine just fine. just lube them up before you slide the injector back into the rail. if you dont have the lube the injectors came with; i have used wd40 with perfect success.

wd40 is a water displacement, definitely not a lubricant.
Get assembly grease with molybdenum. You can get it in small tubes or a huge tube. It's engine safe so if it gets into the combustion chamber no big deal.
I use that on all my assembly which includes orings. Inspect them for any cuts or issues and they should be able to be reused without any problems.

I would do a visual on the orings to make sure they are still supple () and intact. If so, you should be fine reusing them.
We do have oring kits available for a little extra insurance, though. $21 for a full set of ring and seals.
