So should I throw it back together and just put that injector in a different spot and start it to see if that changes anything?? Before I start pulling the head off???

I would not pull the head unless something is wrong. Put the injector back in and see how it runs since you repoped it

Hey guys I got the head pulled off and it was the head gasket totally blown out between #5 and #6. I never would've thought that the way it was idling and running with no smoke at idle. And since I got studs I figured I would be safe but guess not.

Do you have any ideas or recommendations on setting up water meth w/o the meth?? Could I use hobbs switches and just redneck it or should I just go ahead and buy a kit??

It's cool I really didn't want bad news that soon but it would've helped out. This little headache caused me to miss our biggest in state diesel event thats the worst part of it all. Haha but it happens.

This might be changing the topic a little bit but what do you guys reccomend for twins??
