Not sure how to get it on her then. I guess if anyone would like to look at it on me there wmail
This is what it looks like while cranking with commanding max fuel
Pressure in DVT, unplugging FPR, and normal crank up.

Also just cranked it over for about 15 seconds and this is how much fuel came out of the return line to fuel tank. This is while commanding 160mpa in DVT. Shouldn't it be way less?
You need around 2000 psi for injectors to even fire. Your relief valve is likely not fully seated or shimmed wrong. Pull small rubber return hose off fprv to see if fuel comes from there when cranking. Or one of the injectors is returning some serious amount of fuel.
Thanks. Did it and baggy on the left is coming tom Fprv and baggy on right is coming from injector return lines inlet from fprv.
So must be injector stuck closed right? Easiest way to find it would be pull all return lines off top of injectors and which ever one hoses me down will be it?
pull the glow plugs and hold a peice of card board over each hole with the injectors disconnected from firing, then crank the sucker over and see which one sprays fuel all over the card board
Ok checked all driver side return lines. No fuel really shot out just drained out a bit. Will it shoot out a good little stream? Or should I just pull glow plugs instead?
The fuel won't shoot out the return lines, it will shoot out the injector tip. Only way to see that is to pull the glow plugs, then it will come out the glow plug hole and get the cardboard wet.
return rate isnt gunna do much for you if an injector is stuck open and without a graduated cyl to see just how much you get per injector, its a guessing game
I know it doesn't help, but I have learned the HARD way to only do one mod at a time and drive a few days or even weeks before I start the next one. That way, when-not if-I screw something up, I'll have a better clue as to where I need to start looking.....
Had a similar problem with my 2010 after shimming the fprv . Could not get it to seat correctly no matter what I did . Just crank and crank . Finally just bought a full plug from xtream diesel and it's all good . Don't know what went wrong with the fprv but it would not quit leaking . Had half a bottle just cranking no start . Drove me nuts ! I used some washers and shimmed it fully and took the spring out to get me by tell my plug came and once in awhile would get a reduced power with the temp fix but I was able I drive it . Good luck hope this helps !
