no i was going to do that but havent taken them back out yet. i prob. will tho just to see.... my problem probably is not using the taller seal, but i was kinda thinking what boost was,if the top seals i should be fine. so i guess the next question would be what is going to happen if the injector is sticking to far into the manifold , or not enough?

yeah you need the taller seals. that is why they say in the write up that you need taller seals, the dsm injectors are a bit shorter where they go into the fuel rail. i got the same seals that are in the write up.

Re:question about dsm 450 install

.....if my injectiors dont move up and down wont i be fine?...if they dont move up and down wouldnt that mean they are tight in the fuel rail
(up as high as they can go?) so how would getting taller bottom seals take up the gap in between the rail and the rubber seal ontop of the injector? i guess having the taller seal is just to have the injector stick in the manifold the same distance as the stock injector. which i will look into tomorrow.

well i just went and looked at my injectors, and they dont move up and down at all, and the top o-ring is sealing just fine.
so i quess i did win the prize!!!!

i know my injectors will be fine, and when i get my ecu back from being socketed i will be able to tell u that no gas got on me

, and ur the reeturded one for acting like u know it all, and not adding any usefull posts to this topic.

Re:question about dsm 450 install

just be certain...if there is room for movement (even if you cant move it), i would fix it since with the added pressure from the fuel and maybe if you hit a bump...
