Hi,

Today I installed some new injectors. Everything seems to be fully seated but when looking at both fuel rails, the injectors aren't at the same position starting from the fuel rail. There's a 2 or 3mm difference.



Should I worry or if it's normal?

Yes, they seat flush. I don't know if it's leaking cuz the car is not tuned and there's currently no MAF / filter. I guess I can't start it...

I'm just wondering if a gap is normal. All injectors on the same rail are at the same position but when comparing both rails it's different.
