Saw that one. Tried it. Doesn't work. The seal binds up where the hose overlaps because it isn't flush against the seal surface. As you tighten the clamp it essentially pushes focuses the seal into that gap.

To be honest I'm not sure half of these people doing these hokey methods are even reporting on their end results, such as were they actually able to fit the injector into the head, and were the seals undamaged in the process. I have absolutely no doubt you could jam unformed seals into the heads and they will hold a seal. For how long, and how well, that's up to the car gods. Rarely do people make a 2nd video showing how they screwed up, or reporting what failed. It's kind of like forum posts, half of them dead-end and have no conclusion or resolution to the OP's original issue. Sometimes a fix is found and they just move on with their lives and don't tell the rest of the world what the outcome was lol.
