Default FAST or LS6 Question

Can someone post up a picture of a closeup of their injectors. For some reason I dont think the injectors are not in far enough. They are all down the same and the rail is tightened, but you can see the silver part on the bottom of the injector.

I dont remember them showing this much. I sprayed carb cleaner to see if they were letting air through but there was no change. I'm just a little concerned. I tried the search, but all I could find was pictures with the entire engine.

If you grab ahold of the injector, you can move it. Mine move pretty easily. The car seems to run fine, but I have an ses light due to not having the egr hooked up. I'm just wondering if they aren't right.

Ok then, so I have another question. Are the injectors the same height on the ls6 as an ls1? How about the fuel rail?

Well I tood it off and reinstalled it and its the same. Someone said that there are two slits in the injectors but I dont see that either. I think I'm just going to remove the clips and let the fuel pressure push them down.

my injectors move pretty easy but do have some resistance(that is normal). If they don't move the rail is way too tight. Make sure you have the screws coming from the side of the fuel rail tight after you tighten the main fuel rail bolts(rail to manifold).

There are only the 4 bolts that hold down the rail on mine. I think I'm just remove all of the clips. Has anyone done that?

If it wasn't sealing wouldn't you have a vacuum leak? When I put mine back on they would spin rather easily and I haven't had any trouble.

You're fine man. If They aren't leaking then what are you worried about?
