Default To replace or not to replace?

<center><img src="http://st4u.kicks-***.org:8080/injector.jpg"></center><p>Changing the fuel injector gaskets and the little plastic? piece crumbled while taking the old gasket off. Anyone else had this happen? and if I need a new injector, do dealerships usually carry the stock injectors, or should I just order one and save myself the hassle?

TIA

Default The plastic piece is not a spare part. You will have to buy new a injector(s)

I had the same problem when I did my injectors and had to pull the intake mani when it fell down on to one of the valves.

Not fun.

Default I can send you an injector if you can wait a few days for it.

I will be back on the 7th, and can ship it to you then, if you want.

Default Mine was a cap though, not that smaller plastic ring

Plus, I got to see that my intake valves are immaculate. Made me happy.
