In Reply To	Correct placement of O-Ring on Nismo Injector ?? posted by Gordo 93TT Daytona on November 23, 2011 at 01:58 PM
Message	O-rings should not be stretched or compressed excessively at pre-install. The opposite sealing surface will compress the o-ring and make the seal. If the o-ring is tight, it is in the wrong place. In cherryz's pic you could probably easily spin the o-ring in its groove, where in Gordo's pics they both are very tight. -Dan BlackholeZ VTC Solenoid Caps and Installation Procedure "Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
