Furthermore, these "no tool" methods do not form the seal down to the proper tolerances they need to be to fit in the head properly. The seal has to be "smushed" down to the proper thickness and as it's smushed it fills up the seal seat out to the edges. This tool I have, now that I have properly destroyed a set of seals, it really crushes the seal down to damn near the width of the injector tip. If you look at this guys hose method, the seal isn't really smushed down enough. His seals are still much thicker than the injector tip. While his injector may fit in the head far enough to bolt the rail down, I'd like to see pictures of the injector tip protruding at the combustion chamber, and really a test fit of the injectors individually, to see if the seals didn't get mangled by the head as they went in. All you'd need to do is set one in the head and pull it back out. If the seal didn't move or get scratched to death, then fine he's good to go. I'd wager money they are just jammed in there.

Again, we're going back to it may have worked out for him, and he didn't have leaks, but is he sitting on a failure that the clock is just ticking for.
