Got a little hung up bolting down the fuel rail.
Worried I had the wrong bolts and I don't see them listed in the PET.
the ones that hold the rail down to the intake manifold, M6 I believe but the length I'm not sure of.
I assume the rail starts a bit "stood off" and is drawn down as you bolt it down, squishing the injector seals snug as you do. I will pick up a range of M6 tomorrow to cover myself but is that correct? I remember doing it this way a few times when we had the rail off before the fire but everything is different, including the injectors and I'm worried about proper fit.

This is to be avoided.

I will do a little lube when I start in.

I believe they're M6x10mm.

Always lube the seals and install the rail before putting any bolts in. The seals should just pop gently into place. Verify that all the seals are in before snugging the bolts down...

I hope that helps!

Fwiw, I use studs for the manifold fasteners.
