Oh man that sucks. I took extra time when I did mine (even bought a spare o-ring). No issues here. Just look at this way fixing your LS1 is more fun than driving most of the rice mobiles.

Use lots of vaseline on the O-rings, the last time I put my s/c on and bolted the fuel rails down I think Captain Morgan forgot the vaseline because the next day when I turned the Key I sprayed fuel all over the right side of the motor after I found a new O-ring I fired the Capt. and he's no longer allowed in my garage
