Mine are "holy shit thats tight" lol. Anythjng else seams to leak. im not saying to do that,id try to torque them to spec and if you have a leaker snug it accordingly from there.Also screw both ends down evenly seams to be the best.
This is what I got from the Snap On guy. LOVE IT!

17 and 19mm crowsfoot flarenut with a long (bout the size of a normal 1/2) 3/8 ratchet is all I use.
I might have to do this
Darn lb7 leaks are a pain lol pulled both valve cover off and can't find a leak anywhere even with the fuel press maxed.
It seems like I don't then unless when i put the lines back on without the valve covers i tightned the crap out of then. but if my oil keeps climbing after this the reman injectors will be coming out! Still got a year warranty on them.
Where did you 2 get your injectors from I just had a guy that bought 45 overs on ebay and his oil kept I creasing badly and the injectors were junk all cracked and leaking badly.
I geo mine from injectors direct, new Bosch remans and everything except refurbed hp lines, I'm going to mighty vac the return lines tonight to see if that's still the problem

From merchant auto, I have done every test possible return volume test, vacuum test, compression test, replaced the cp3, and still making oil? If its still doin it after this all the injectors are coming out.
Yeah hopefully that's your prob is the returns, mine were from merchant auto. I posted on your post about the returns:thumb:
Not the returns. I mighty vac'd them tonight and they stayed right at 15hgpsi so it's not that next step is the hp lines

A few years ago II sent me a set of injectors where not one of the injector tips was torqued down and they all leaked into the heads. It was a pain in the ass to figure out because they where hand tight. Possibly something look at, I even replace all of the high pressure lines with new ones before figuring it out.
I don't think this would e an issue because they were Bosch remans, the ones you would get from the stealer ship, but ill
Keep it in mind. Andrew seems like a real honest guy to me so I'm not pointing any fingers I'm just weeding out the problem.

Yeah I'm not pointing fingers either, anything is possible someone at Bosch could of been having a shitty day or whoever rebuilt the injector didnt care. Half the reman lines I have ordered were junk thats why I bought new ones.
