Ok so my engine almost ready to run, but i seems like i lost the black spacers that go behind the fuel rail bolts.
Are they a critical component? Will I get any fuel leakage due to the slight misalignment without the spacers?
Thanks in advance.

They'll stop you tightening the fuel rail too much and damaging your injectors.
Think I lost one of my spares so I can't lend you a set. Someone like Russ might have some you could use to get going and then buy him a brand new set?

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I got by when I lost one for a few days by cutting some rubber fuel hose to make a spacer.
I had the other one to judge the width.
Don't burn the car down though
