Clay,
Your picture came a little distorted, but I belive I know what you are
talking about. The even cylinders on my M1 have the runners cut through
where the injectors bottom out. I called and ask Mopar specifically about
this. They said they were aware of this and there is no problem with the
injectors sealing. After looking over where the o-ring sets on the
injector, I tend to agree with them. The seal is high enough to miss this
opening they created when they buzzed the injector bosses. Just knowing it
is there still bothers me though.
