  Methinks you got rooked at the time. I know my O-ring repair was covered
by the 3/36 warranty, and I'm almost positive that most of the others were
as well. Water under the bridge at this point...

  The high-pressure fuel crossover line (that bridges the two fuel rails)
runs behind the intake manifold, not too far above the distributor, if I
remember correctly. I'll bet they kinked it or nicked it. What a crock.
I'm glad you weathered it well.
