Default Fuel injector question

I just pulled my fuel rails from the intake and when the fuel injectors came off the little plastic o ring on many of the injectors cracked and broke.



Can i just replace the rings? or do i have to buy new injectors? or can i just remove them all.

Try the correct forum.... Someone may have the parts you need, for a really right price.
And, no U don't have to replace the injectors....

Fuel Injector Connection (sponsor) should be able to replace those.

The plastic piece doesn't affect the operation of the injectors. I took the rings off my LS1 injectors to make them work on the truckintake.

Only when removing the injectors, just keeps the o-rings from sliding off the injectors and staying in the intake apon removal. The intake has a step in the injector hole so the o-ring can't get sucked down into the intake under negative intake pressures.
