Successfully removed engine - injectors sprayed gas??

This sounds likely to me too. If you pause the video at 0.08 it looks like the socket on the rail where the injector goes into and the injector are not in line... Any damage on the rail indicating it got pushed sideways while pulling the engine?

Sorry it took so long to get back...

So far as I can tell the rail looks okay. When I removed both rails and brought them over the bench the injectors were all still locked in and I did not notice anything different insofar as play, change in angle, etc between the 2 banks.

I think that you are both right that when I pull the engine the fuel return line being on the wrong side of the e-brake cable on the bank 2 side "pulled" the rail towards the front of the car. I would assume this caused seal to break at the o-rings given the high pressure. When I dis-assembled though I do not see any physical damage.

I guess best-case the act of pulling on the rail allowed pressure to escape, and re-seating with new o-rings, etc would fix.

Worst case - i don't know.. new injectors, replacement of the rail.

Is a logical course of action to finish everything up (I might be at this project for a while), get it all back in the car with new o-rings and see how it goes? It seams that the fuel injectors / rail would be relatively easy to get back to with the engine back in the car?

Here is a pick I took as I removed the injectors on the bank 2 side:

I think it`s much easier to pull the rail now while the engine is on stand than when it`s in the car. So I would pressurize the system somehow and test for leaks before putting the engine back in the car.
