I have heard a bunch of different stories on that...... those look close enough to me though...... I think I would still pull five and seven, and have a look at the inlet screens.

Ok I just went through all and they read as so, from 1-8 in order : 13.2, 13.0, 13.0, 12.8, 13.0, 12.8, 12.9, 12.7. Im gonna pull the two and see what I find. Did run into a problem, two of the red clips on the connectors came off. It seems like its a secondary fastener over another so should it be alright? It stays on

IF they don't 'click' into place, or, if there isn't some flavor of lock to hold them on, that will give you trouble..... values look fine.

Any suggestions on how to get them out. I took the fuel rail bolts out on this side and loosened the other side half way. It won't even move more than a c or two. Need about triple that to get them out. Any suggestions? Should I just remove the clips from all of them and pull it off the top, leaving the other ones in and just replace top orings on them? Don't wanna do that but doesnt move

Use some thing rather wide to pry up on the fuel rail. (want to distribute the force as much as possible.) They are a right pain to get out.... squirting some lube into the manifold where the injectors go in might help some too. Be gentle. Don't wanna break anything.
