I see. Thanks for the information.

The injector has two o rings. One near the top and one on the very bottom tip. Many times this o ring is missing when the injector gets removed. It gets stuck in th head.

Please reply back if you need more help or have more questions.

You are very welcome.

Yes they only come with one. To be honest, Cat recommends not using the bottom o ring and just let the metal to metal contact between the injector and cup be the seal. But I am here to tell you, it does not always work. I always use the lower o ring. The part number is(NNN) NNN-NNNN

Yes, it goes at the very base around the tip.
