Question for People Running Bosch EV6 Injectors
I recently purchased some EV6 bosch injectors to use in my new build. They came with height adapters to fit properly on the LT1 fuel rail. The problem I am facing is that, while they are close enough to the same o-ring to o-ring length, they dont seat at the same height as the stock injectors. Where the stockers will push in about 1/4" and stop, these will push in to the intake about 1/2" before they stop. This seems alright other than the fact that this causes the top o-ring to not quite be seated in the fuel rail.
Right now I have the injectors seated at the top against the fuel rail, but I am pretty sure they will just push down as soon as there is fuel pressure. They are seated pretty tight so I don't know if this will actually happen, but it is a possibility. I am also worried that the injector may not be in the correct position relative to the intake hole that it is seated in. Does anyone know what I should do here? There are no grooves in the adapter to use the injector clips so that is not an option unless I file them in myself.
I am going to give the company I got them from a call tomorrow to see what they have to say.1996 Z28 SS M6 Polo Green Metallic - Built 355 from my 93

If it were me and they have not yet had fuel supplied to them I would send them back if that is an option.

Since I have already installed them I believe the most they can do is replace them with something else. I gave them a call and the sales manager thinks that they did not give me the correct adapters. He is going to get back to me after talking to one of their engineering guys. If it isn't going to work properly then I will try to get a refund.

They gave me a call back and are sending me bottom adapters to use instead. These should allow the injectors to seat properly and allow me to use the injector clips with the fuel rail. Hopefully this solves the problem.
