From what I got from the video, just to make more room for easy removal/install.

Thanks for the good comments Guys. My old truck has 230,000 miles and the stock injectors were pretty smoked hahahaaa #3 might have been leaking some. Adjusted the valves they were still in tolerance!! high side but still in. Gotta love the Cummins.

its not bad, it took me just as long to change them as pull every thing off. for the first time just move slow and remember to remove the injector tubes from the line to the injector

save yourself time and don't remove the rocker arms. they are not in the way. They work as great holders for parts.
