Issues after Injector Replacement

So I just got done replacing 3 bad injectors, the passenger side went some what smoothly other than having to crank over engine to loosen stuck #7 Injector. Driver side not so much, turns out I assume that whom ever replaced the driver side injectors last time used air tools or over torqued the bolts and thats why #8 and #6 were have issues. The last two bolts on the Oil Log type rail spun freely, so after much cursing I went and picked up a Helicoil kit and a m6 tap. I was able to use longer M6 bolts and tap so the bolts no longer spin and are able to be properly torqued to 8ft lbs didn't even use the helicoil.

My main question is what should I be on the lookout for as far as potential issue go. Plan on changing oil and filters this weekend the long startup is normal from what i've been able to glean until all the air gets purged out of the HPO system.

I had to helicoil one of mine, you’ll be fine if you did everything else right. Drive it!
