Default Aeromotive fuel rail question/problem..

I was installing the Aeromotive fuel rails today and found that the rails are in a slight bind against the intake bolts, this holds the rails slightly off from optimal. The injectors are at a slight angle and not lined up as nice as I would like with the intake. It looks like the O ring on the injector is sealed with the intake fine but it bothers me enough to get a second oppinion.

Could I be doing something wrong?

Has anyone else with Aeromotive rails dealt with this issue? Are your rails right against the intake bolts?

I have heard that before I think there is a tolerance issue with them.

I dont know of any way to make them fit better, I dont even think clearancing the rails would help. I also sent them an email asking if there were any issues or recalls and never got a response. Guess I will have to call them, im not thinking very highly of Aeromotive right now. I wish some others running the rails would drop in and give there experiences.

Thanks!

Have those rails installed on my Ls1 Monte Carlo and I remember there was a slight clearing issue with the bolts. I just bent the rail fitting a bit out. Have drove it like this for a while now and have not had any problems.

Hope this helps.
