    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    Don't wanna speak to early but I'm pretty sure I nailed it. Driver side, one return line wasn't tq'd and another injector hold down didn't have the steel button installed, so I assume it wasn't letting that injector seat properly. Between those two issue it makes sense. Got about 25 miles on it...

    LB7: Injector install. What could happen if.....

    What would the result be if the steel pad the injector hold down rest on was not installed in the head? Pulled my upper and found one, pulling the lower now to install it into its place.

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    I want to thank everyone for all thier inputs and help along the way. UPDATE: Still have a fuel leak, it seems to be diluting the oil at the same rate as it was prior to tq'ing the lines. Back to square one. Going to soak the lines in CLR and the Upper covers are coming off and I'm going to...

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    Gotcha. Well I got back into it and put a tq wrench on all 16 fittings for the pressure lines, each one was about 1/8-1/4 loose from spec at 35ftlb. A couple were nearly a full half turn loose. Does it sound likely that the lines being that loose could have been the source of my leak?

    If I wanted to leak check the system do I need to have the truck running or will pressurizing the fuel system with my lift pump do the same thing?

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    Yes I know for a fact the injector hold downs were tq'd, O-rings installed and lubed. I know for a fact the pass side return banjo bolts were all tq'd to spec. I cannot remember about the drivers side though. it was late and I was exhausted and distracted so i'm not ruling out the possibility...

    Yeah I didn't tq the hp lines. Just used my calibrated elbow. Honestly the gamble is not worth my engine so I'm taking the top valve covers off and gonna run the truck and see what I see. With that much fuel in the oil I feel the leak should be fairly evident.

    Thanks for the info. I actually ordered all new bolts and gaskets from LDS when I placed my order, so everything is all new. Including the fuel in the crankcase :mad:

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    Yes thanks again Brent. Unfortunately I have to take it back apart for a fuel leak. After about 80 miles I drained about 5 gallons of fuel/oil mixture. So I got a big leak somewhere. I'm thinking it's the return line on the drivers side. I was pretty tired and distracted when I put that side...

    Cubby hole gauge mount

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007WTF02/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VRuMvbKZEVTHG When I installed gauges in my overhead, I bought a sheet of this plastic and made my own gauge pod. It cuts easy and bends easy with a heat gun. Multiple sizes and thicknesses available for much less than purchasing a gauge...

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    Thanks for the idea. Just ordered all 10 return line banjo bolts and the valve cover bolts. I planned on putting it all back together with blue LocTite. Any advice on that?

    Thanks for the pointers fellas. It would be a nice piece of mind to just break out the MityVac.

    LB7: About to tackle my injectors, any pointers?

    I'm plan on torquing the return banjos to spec and calling it good. Everything is getting new seals so I'm not to worried about the leaks. Just following the tq specs and replacing all seals.
