Question regarding aftermarket fuel rail installation fitment
So I got my fuel setup in and I pressed the aluminum sleeves into the lower intake manifold. Currently they are sitting flush on the LIM, I am not sure if I am supposed to press them any further into the LIM, there is roughly 1.5 to 2 cm of space left that they could be pressed down.
My only concern if I press them any further is that I think there will be large of a space for the injectors to get a proper seal at the base (between the o-ring and sleeve)
Un-bolted the assembly is very loose.
Here are two pictures for reference.
I feel like the injectors should be sitting further down into the LIM ?

It looks like the injector on the right is pushed further in than the one on the left. When I installed my aftermarket secondary rail the injectors were popped up like that as well, I just pushed them on nice and tight and then tightened down the rail and it pulled them in nicely. If there's going to be an issue I don't see any way to resolve it (in my situation), so I don't think you should have any issues either. I do remember having the same fear, but the injectors seem to seal nicely so I don't know. If I get everything together before someone else replies I'll let you know how it goes with mine.
Hopefully if I'm wrong someone will speak up though.

i think when i did mine i pushed the aluminum inserts onto the injectors to make sure the o-ring stuck out of the bottom a bit. i honestly don't recall how far the inserts came to the LIM. you did remove the diffusers that were under the stock injectors though correct?

One other question... I noticed there is nowhere for me to connect the fuel temperature sensor on the aftermarket secondary rail like there is on the primary rail. Is that sensor a necessary component or can it be eliminated?
