you can try to smush them in there

but itll be tough


just dremel them out

but be careful not to go to big

if you have a spare IM laying around toss the seal in it and dremel it out till its a snug fit

I have a similar situation. Well, 1st of all, I recently aquired a car with an existing setup - has a D16Z6 SOHC VTec in an '89 Honda CRX Si, still using the OBD-0 wiring configuration (no, the VTec doesn't engage without an RPM activated switch, and yes I will be switching to another ECU, a P06 chipped as a P28 neventually, just need a harness adaptor), Anyway, this car has an adapted GReddy kit, a TD04H-15G GReddy turbo, some GReddy charge pipes, a Paxton FMU, and from what I've been told, the stock 240cc injectors. I was looking at the GReddy site and it seems that's really all this kit includes, perhaps to use the stock injectors... Would it be wise to switch to larger injectors, and would these 460cc injectors that I have work with my ECU? These are also peak-and-hold injectors from an '87 Mazda RX7. I was told that perhaps my Si ECU wouldn't handle the large flow rate... But does anyone have any ideas? Once I have THAT question answered, I may dremel out my o-rings so that they'll fit in my intake manifold....
