hey guys, this site is great! i am new to the SHO world, and i just performed an engine tear down and build up, only it wont run now, and when i try to start it fuel seemes to be leaking out of the bottom of the fuel rail, where one injector is inserted, but i pushed all the injectors in as far as the could go before i bolted down the rails. i double checked all sensors and plugs as well. should i get new injectors?, and would this proablem not allow the car 2 start?
any help is greatly appreciated!

UPDATE! I have no patients, so i pulled the intake again and cleaned and reinstalled the injectors. the car will crank but wont start up. and i have brand new motocraft sparkplugs & wires. in the correct firing order.
AFTER cranking for a about 15 seconds w/ no start i get out and my sho is now pouring gas onto the street. Im at a complete loss.. CAN ANYONE HELP?

My guess would be you dropped one of the copper washers that seal the feed, crossover, fuel pressure regulator, or pulse dampener fittings on the fuel rail. At every attachment to the fuel rail (besides the injectors) there are two little copper washers that seal the steel fitting to the aluminum rail. Easy to lose one when you're putting things back together.

Where exactly is the gas hitting the ground? Passenger side? Or drivers side?

Brandon, you need to solve this problem first obviously, where is the gas coming from?

But, the car is not going to start or run unless you have the timing belt on correctly.
