Storage of Injectors medium to long term

[4gfun]

I purchased a set of FIC 650 injectors on this board, but don't have time to install them yet.

The O-rings seem to be in good condition as well. Is there anything that I can do to avoid wrecking them in the meantime?

Thanks

Never try to reuse o-rings. It one goes bad and sucks in unmetered air say goodbye to that cylinder. Take the o-rings off. Store the injectors in a zip lock bag to try and keep out moisture and set them somewhere cool and dry. When you wanna use them, get new o-rings top and bottom.

you can buy new o-rings for those injectors at any auto part store for next to nothing.

do all size injectors take the same size o-rings as the stock ones?

I've been told to put a few drops of oil into an injector for storage. I did this to a set of injectors for my thunderbird SC. They sat in a dirty garage, unprotected, for two years. I poppped them back in and they worked just fine.

I dont know what style FIC injectors are, but this tip was for pintle style injectors... I'm not sure if this applies for disc style injectors.
