Re: HELP !!!
The first question that pops to mind is why in the world did they remove the fuel lines to replace the fuel injectors? Whoever did that needs to lose their job. Anyone can swap out a set of injectors in half an hour, most of that time taken to fight with those blasted clips that hold the injectors in the rail.
Second, you'll need to get either a junkyard rail or some JBWeld stick epoxy, and even the epoxy may not hold. If you try the epoxy, you'll need to completely drain the fuel rail to make sure no gas gets on the epoxy as it cures, and slowly screw the fuel pipe back into the rail. You'll probably only get one shot to get it right, so try like mad to get the fuel pipe in as straight as possible and in all the way. Get a new set of fuel line o-ring seals and put them on there as well.
