Default Alum Thermostat Housing & Fuel Rail

Replaced Water Pump, Thermostat Housing with a Aluminum Housing (Boy the 2 back bolts were a pain), Thermostat as well as the Upper & Lower Hoses.

Hopefully the cooling system will not need anything for a while.

My concern is the fuel rail that runs behind the thermostat housing and is very close if not just touching. Has this been a problem?

At the place I've arrowed here?

I've seen evidence of rubbing on every one I've done but never had a pipe fail.
