For TPI settups that do not have a fixed fuel rail this doesnt matter, but for mine the shorter injectors wont seel. [imgPhotobucket][/img]

From left to right, Bosche, SVO red top and LS1.

Looks like a slight difference.. measure o-ring to o-ring.. not the tips.

The distance you see from tip to tip is the same as O-ring to O-ring. The LS1 injector is almost a 1/4" shorter than the Bosche and the SVO is about 3/16 shorter.

The LS and SVO look incredibly close o-ring to o-ring

There doesnt look like an 1/8 difference o-ring to o-ring in that pic. The plastic tip doesnt do any sealing.

The difference between each injector O-ring - O-ring is about 1/8". That is enough to have a leak on the T-Ram.
