It will leak down into the cylinder past the injector seal from what I have heard. Personally I've never been in there to really tell you. Just what I have read here on FTE.

i talked to the guys at bean performance, awsome guys i told them what i need to get if there bad injectors and asked him what stock injectors look like he told me but didn't match what i saw under the value cover. i told him the injectors said allied or something like that with a long bar code ans serial number he stated that those are rebuilt injector and more than likely it has a bad o ring due to poor install of the injectors, he defintly made me feel a hell of lot better because i wanted to wait intil spring to up grade them to stage twos. and now i might have a chance to wait once i replace the o rings on monday. thanks for all the help you guys are awsome.
