oh also. running the engine with a known fuel leak is a really bad idea.
ehh the leak was coz i took the injectors out to test somethin in my b18 & then it was leaking when i put my injectors back in the D15 coz i didn't tighten it down real tight apparently.. anyways, i figured out why it cracked.. u see the nut in the center & the one on the driver side tightened down snug & the one of the passenger side didn't get snug coz i was missing the plastic spacer that goes between the rail & the mani.. there for it kept pulling up on that pin & then snapped the manifold before bending the rail.... makes sence now.. i was just tired & frustrated.. oh well lesson learned!
