Why is it leaking?
Can you tighten it with a wrench?

If I knew I wouldn t be posting. I did a head gasket, rockers, etc. put some serious torque on it. Took off cleaned, put back, still leaks . Could be the face on the rail or the line seat
I would like to try another line if I can get one at a reasonable price. My trusty auto salvage yard can t find one so I thought to post.

The line may be fine. Make sure you align the line end properly, then push the line end tight against the seating surface with one hand while you tighten the compression nut with the other hand. Hand tighten both line ends before torquing the compression nuts. Obviously this means you want to disconnect line from the fuel rail as well as injector before alignment. If it didn't leak before opening then it should leak after putting it together unless you bent it or damaged it in any way.
