Default Intake swap question

I am getting ready to take my intake manifold off. So I was reading through my service manual. It states that you need to remove the fuel injectors. It also states when re-installing the injectors that you need to use new o-rings for the injectors. My goal is to have everything that I need to do this without making multiple trips into town or having problems down the road.

1. Can I reuse the old o-rings?
2. Do I have to use new o-rings?
3. Where can I find these at beside the dealership?

I think you will be OK with the old ones as long as they don't look damaged or worn. I just did an intake swap and just wiped the old ones off and gave em' a light spray of silicone. This was on a 99' with 67,000 miles.

Just as long as the aren't jacked up and shitty looking then you'll be fine.


FWIW: I reused mine
