Hi hauss. The right and left banks of throttle bodies ar canted inward towards the centerline of the engine (CL fore and aft).

The fuel rails, with the injectors bottomed out in the throttle bodies and snug in the fuel rails above, have about a 1/2 inch gap between them. I would like to close that gap to zero. That would slant the injectors slightly in their machined bosses in the throttle bodies and the fuel rails.

The injectors are still bottomed out and snug, just canted a little.

Maybe the injector o-rings are meant to have a little give in them (to allow for expansion/contraction) and they are a little squiggly (they move around quite a bit even when bottomed out in their machined throttle body and fuel rail bosses).

A problem? I'm just wondering.

Cheers
Greg
