I started to install injectors and they didn't fit exactly between the fuel rail and the manifold.
If I use the lock clips, they do not reach down far enough to seat in the manifold.
Conversely, when I seat them in the manifold, I cannot lock them in place with the clips.


On the left: the injector is firmly seated in the manifold, locking clip is not installed because the groove won't line up.

On the right: the locking clip in place but the injector not seated as far in as the injector on the left. Is there enough of a seal here?

The fuel rail is torqued in place for the shot. Left injector can be moved vertically.

I had sent them off to be refurbed and am wondering if they got swapped with a different set.

Thanks to 632Regal for giving me advice online while I was trying to figure this out... and I still haven't!
