Default Injector/ valve cover

Just replaced the injectors. Did fast skipped the part were you take the glow plugs out and crank it over. Of course my luck get everything back together and won't crank over just stops before it cranks. Any suggestions? Also lost 2 valve cover bolts. Rough day any suggestions where I can pick up 2 bolts?

also I didn't clear the cylinders of the oil after pulling all the injectors. will just pulling all the glow plugs and cycling it over many times solve that problem too or will I have to pull all the injectors back out and drain them.

just pull all the glow plugs and crank it over. once you pull the glow plugs put the valve covers back on and tighten down 1 bolt. the oil comes out with alot of force.

So I just pulled all the injectors turned it by hand to get it turned a couple rotations then just bumped the starter. No more hydrolock turn over great. I did notice some oil on the ground after underneath the filter or in that area. Is that normal after doing this?
