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.
