Second update - new injectors still working flawlessly. And, as added bonus, better gas mileage! Previously I would get 230-240 miles to the tank, but I am now consistently getting 260-270! Not too shabby eh?

Have you figured out miles per gallon????
I consistently get 23-25 miles per gallon.
It is a 2000S stock.
So a full tank is 16 Gal. if I remember right.
I can go around 350 then the fuel light comes on.
That happens at around 14 gal. I think
So I can get close to 400 miles per tank

Holy cow, that's way better than mine. My tank holds 15 gallons. I was getting 16-17mpg before (mixed highway and City) with original injectors, 17-18 now (majority of driving is 80-110mph at 4-6k rpm with a lot of wot)

Your driving style has lots to do with your gas mileage.
WOT dumps lots of fuel tell the RPM catches up with engine load. 
But it is fun
I play with mine some too  
I think if I took say a 350 mile run under the right weather and road conditions I could get 28 mpg maybe 28.??? mpg If I really concentrated on gas mileage.

Nice work. Just wondering if hand fashioned groove affects sealing to the rail..?
I suppose changing the whole rail and injectors would be a no go? I have never touch anything but the fuel filter in the fuel system so I have no idea.

That groove holds little circlips between the injector and the rail to prevent the injector from rotating on their seat. The rail itself holds the injector to the motor, and the seal is purely a factor of pressure from the rail on the orings, so I don't see a chance of leakage.
