Default LSXrT injector install help

Working on installing my LSXrT intake on my truck and I'm having problems with my injectors fitting. My truck injectors are too big to seat properly on the intake. Whats going on with that? Will I have to drill them out to get my truck injectors to work?

I got the new O-rings and they don't fit either. Too large. Too large for the smaller truck o-ring also. The injector hole is just too small for the injector to seat properly. Anybody else have this issue?

You can see the small ridge inside the injector hole. This is as far as the injector will go. It only goes as far as the bottom of the fuel injector. The hole is so small that the injector head itself won't go past the ridge.LSXrT injector install help-intake2.jpg

Weird, I'm installing my Lsxrt intake today as well. My injectors seemed too small but the orings fixed that. I'm having a problem with the fast fuel rails not lining up with them though..

I had the same issue with mine, o rings supplied were to bulky. I got others from a local auto store.

You say the injector Doesn't fit down even with no orings?

Yeah the injectors don't go in as deep on the FAST as they do the stock. Is that normal? Check out my injector photo. Does that look alright? Those are 8.1 marine injectors.
