As you can see in the photo below, there was a hole between the brass fitting and the fuel rail. I hope it wasn't a result of the fuel rail making contact with the motor mount while driving. Anyway, the second shop to which I took the rail brazed over the hole with silver rod and pressurized the rail underwater to 30 psi - at which point an injector unseated. The compression fitting was tightened up a bit as a result of the pressure test. I picked up the rail last night, purchased some tools at Sears, and then got dinner. I didn't get to commence reinstalling everything until after work today. I hope I can recall from last week how everything goes back together!
