I picked up a set of pte 680s off a local guy. They are brand new and went ahead and installed them. They came with new O Rings and seals. After installing them I went the start the car and they alll leaked from the rail end. So I took it apart to find that apon installation I ripped all 4 of the o rings. When removing them from the injector they appeared to be stale. VEry brittle, I was able to just tear the rest of them off and the basically crumbled. Anyway I ordered 4 injector ring kits for the stock injectors. Will they fit the ptes? Also when I install them should I oil the O rings?

I believe that PTE uses stock o-rings so yes they do work and you should always lube o-rings before installation. I personally use saliva (hey, it works) to ensure you don't rip the ring. Oil works as well. ROFL
 
Yes they should work i had the same problem. I wouldnt oil them unless you use very little oil as this contaminates your fuel. I would just put a little bit of gas on them to keep them wet and then install them one by one.
 
Oh thanks a lot. Def should have read my own before doing it... Now I have to wait 5 days for the kits :(.
