Default Fuel Injector O rings

Hey i just ordered the #703 fuel injectors to put in my 95 and i had a question about the O rings. Do i need to replace the current O rings in my rig when i replace the injectors and if i do is there a certain O ring to get? I'm new to this so I'm just trying to clarify

Allways replace o-rings when replacing injectors.They are like $8.The new injectors should come with them.

Just go to the auto parts store and ask for fuel injector O-rings they are all the same as far as jeep says make sure to lube the O-rings with vasoline before you try to put them in the manifold ,and the fuel rail g/l Arey558

Default I just got the o rins and the uppers didnt match

I just pulled out my injectors on my 4.0 yesterday.I picked up the new rings from napa. The bottom s matched up but the uppers were the same size as the lowers and they didnt fit. I had to reuse the old uppers so take them off carefully just incase you run into the same problem. Tripple check for leAKS WHEN YOU ARE DONE BECAUSE YOU WILL LOOSE THE JEEP TO A FIRE IF YOU DON'T. I used motor oil to lube it and wiggle them back in. once i started it I had a drip until the car heated up and the tops finally sealed up. I got 177,000 on mine and i couldnt believe the build up in there. Im suprised it was running at all. What a difference it made when i was done. Even soaking the old injector tips overnight and blowing out the fuel rail made her run great. Good luck.
