2A5744 injector gasket on D4600

I bought the 2A5744 injector gasket from florin tractor they were so old brittle and hard that. One came in pieces they are to thick to clamp down the injectors when i tighten them i still get a little play out of them when i wiggle them with a screw driver i even let one sit in oil for awhile to see if it would soften up am i doing somthing wrong or is that the way the injectors are they are tight and there is no up and down movement

Hi Team,
link below shows how steaming the gaskets in a simple vegetable steamer will re-hydrate them to be useful again.
I would likely then dry the surfaces and oil/grease them before fitment

First thing, buy them from a CAT dealer and they will most likely be newer. Second, ALWAYS soak in HOT WATER for 20 to 30 minutes until they a pliable. Bill Walter

Thank you for the help i'm going to try to steam them
