Default Diesel in the oil

We just changed all the injectors in our 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 and now we have excessive blow by. Diesel fuel is getting into the engine oil and the oil level is rising. We keep changing the oil and filter and it is like water. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Would appreciate any guidance on this! Also, does anyone know any good diesel mechanics in the tri-state area. I am in Delaware.

Thanks!

is the engine missing?...i would say that the fuel in the oil is probabaly coming from one of the injector connecting tubes not being sealed off good...how did you tighten then down?....and the blow by if it wasnt there before then possibly an injector thats not torqued down or something....i would say take the valve cover back off and go back over it and you will probabaly find the problem

The engine isn't missing now, it was before we put the new injectors in. We tightened the hoses down coming from the high pressure pump. We double checked them but we were thinking that one of the injectors were possibly bad which would cause the diesel to leak down. Or at least that is what are mechanic is thinking. Does that sound like it could be the problem?
