Well I have had this issue twice now. I have id1300x injectors and the injectors seem a little too tall for the rails. I cannot get them to sit correctly and its leading to leaks on the front injector. Anyone ever had this issue?

I'd pull them off and check to make sure you don't have an o-ring that came off one of your old injectors is causing the rail to sit too high and not sealing some of the injectors.

Same shit happened to me on my 2013 GT500, lucky I was in a parking lot when it happened. I just threw away my stock rails and got a set of fore rails, they will never bend lol.

Like Catmonkey said check for an old oring stuck in the rail.

Otherwise assuming each bank of injectors is at the same height and still to tall, place an aluminum/steel spacer (tube or stack of washers for example) under the rail bolting bracket which will raise the manifold support height. This should stop the rail from angling over (noticeable in your 1st pic) when tightening down the bolts.

Seems like you have already upgraded to better performing and looking parts. Fore Innovation fuel rails are a solid piece of engineering that looks great. Bought mine from Revan Racing also.

Thanks. I pulled them off once and even put a couple washers on that side but still nothing. I am wondering if I have a second 0-ring up there. I'd feel like an idiot, but that wouldn't be the first time lol.

Also how depressing, my car is filthy! We just bought a small farm and I officially have 0 time for any "hobbies" right now.

Op have you put them side by side with the stock injectors to check the height? In the pic it almost doesnt look like is sitting completely flush

I think it's a spare oring or its bent because the other side is perfect. I guess I'll pull it apart and if it's not an oring I'll buy some aftermarket rails.
