Default Nasty ls3 fuel rails + Siemens Deka 4 60lb injectors = fuel misting in engine bay

I developed an injector o-ring leak and fuel was spraying in my engine bay. I apparently don't have enough "clamp" between the rail and manifold and the injectors can juuust move enough to let the o-ring'd upper part slip out. Anyone run Siemens Deka 4 60lb injectors and an LS3 manifold? I'm currently using Nate's LS3 fuel rails. Brackets are the problem.


I'd love some help!

Default

Update: if anyone has this problem, one needs to find a 16mm o-ring for the bottom part of the injectors. This is because the LS3 manifold chamfers are too large for the 14mm o-rings that come with the Siemens Deka 4 injectors. Problem may be eliminated here shortly. I'll update this thread upon confirmation...no one has them in town
