Default Did I buy the right injector o-rings??

I have a used LS6 manifold coming in the mail and the seller told me I'll need new injector o-rings. So, taking his advice, I go buy injector o-rings from napa, but they look way too big. Are the LS1 injector o-rings supposed to look fairly thick?? I've always seen o-rings as small and thin

They are fairly thick, I mean go look at the ones on your current intake.

If they aren't the same, just use your old ones. I've taken my injectors out of the manifold numerous times and still using the same o-rings.

Just inspect them for tears or cracks. If they look good just reuse them. Make sure you put some lube(motor oil or universal lubricant) on them so they slide in the manifold without ripping them.

they will most likly look thicker new because when they get old they get compressed and look thiner.
