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:
