As title implys:) Im going too remove my fuel rail, injectors next few weeks, too clena intake manifold and valves. its a 98 corolla. I seem many years ago, too have read, when i had my neon, on a forum, the majority fvored OEM o rings for the injectors. I seem too remember some saying the black felpro, victor reinz aftermarket ones wont hold out as long if not sooner. I mostly remember, but not 100%.
so....Ide be changing the injector cushings too. autozone has felpro kit, for $11.99 each. i need 4. Toyota dealer, sells the complete kit for $84. thats double! Now..i belive the toyota ones are silicone rings, bushings. Felpro is nitrile or rubber....since its fuel* WOuld the felpro ones be jsut fine toouse, or would it be strongly advised, to get OEM toyota?
 
Over they years I have learned that OEM seals are usually worth the extra $$. More often than not when I have purchased after market they didn't fit as good as OEM or failed prematurely.

If I were you, I would just pony up the $$ for the Toyota parts and not have to worry about it for another 18 years...

Even on my 99 Subaru beater that I just did a head gasket job on, I used all OEM parts. You can usually get the OEM parts for close to aftermarket online.

I helped a buddy do all 6 injectors on a Taurus recently. He had a slight leak on one.
All 12 O rings were $5. BRD brand I believe. Advance Auto. Soaked in clean oil as per instructions. No more leak.
$84? Wow.
