so i fealt that is something that should be mentioned since some may not know about this.

when installing new injectors, before you push the rail in place and bolt it down. prop the rail up or to the side with the injectors installed in. turn the power on but obviously dont try to turn the car over. just turn the key on and off a few times to run the fuel pump and get pressure in the rail. now check to see if your injectors leak. the injectors wont spray because the car is not being started but the power on will make the fuel pump run and make pressure to the rail. once you have established that the injectors are installed well without any leaks check the rail for fuel presure. if there is pressure then you know that your injectors wont leak from the rail.

just a cool thought for those who are afraid to mess with fuel when it comes to cars due to having leaks ect...

that is a good method but you forgot one step.....make sure that you install the fastening clips that hold the injectors in to the rail :P

also, if the clips are weak you might get a leak just from that. The actual "sandwiching" of the injectors between the rail and intake manifold also helps to seal them
