Default Are these rc injectors seated correctly in my fuel rail? *pics*

i have a set of 1200 cc rc injectors i am rying to install onto my vitor x intake mani. I used a new set of oem injector seals and i was just wondering if they are installed correctly? to me it looks like its pinching the seal...i did not dremel/bore out the o rings and i just read a thread where someone said they fit perfect with oem seals but you have to cut the seal in half...which i also didnt do..are these installed correctly? any help is appreciated

it looks right
i think you can check for leaks once your fuel pump is primed, you can see if the injectors are leaking gas. i could be wrong but i think that is one to check for leaks before you fully crank the vehicle up

You should NEVER cut a seal in half... you are supposed to sand off the ring/lip that is in the inside. Also, that side of the injector isn't that big of a deal as it seals off vacuum/boost only. The other end however, is the side to be concerned with; it holds back fuel pressure/fuel.

The seals look very tight but as long as it doesn't create a vacuum leak it isn't a big deal.

they are seated correctly. RC injectors sit "on top" of the seal, not fully inside. there are RC instructions floating around somewhere that will confirm it
