Default im at a loss

so the weekend of labor day my truck went in to get injectors swapped (went to a 175cc) alls well and good once we get done and then monday as im about to head home (work was done at a shop by my parents house where i used to live) i take the truck for one more ride...all of the sudden she dies on me.

take it to the shop and she was smoking and burning oil...turns out that was an internal oil leak and got fixed

being that i live 2 hrs away from this shop i waited till the weekend after labor day to go get it.

pick it up and shes running hotter than hell.

that was a clogged oil cooler

weekend after that i go to pick her up and she would start fine cold but wouldnt do anything hot.

assumed it was the HPOP and swapped it out

this weekend go down to pick it up and its doing the same thing

so all in all it has
new injectors
new oil cooler
new hpop
new oil
new stems and plugs

they have checked all the lines for leaks and cant find anything. they have a guy that works at a ford dealership coming monday to put a computer on it and see if he can figure anything out

info on the truck 06 w/ 114k sct custom tuned by the guy that made my injectors...

any info on this would be awesome bc i cant think of anything else that would cause this problem that isnt brand new.

thanks jeremy

Have they checked the dummy plugs on the HPO rail or the stand pipes? when they replaced the HPOP did it get a new STC fitting?

Definitely sounds like a high pressure oil leak. I believe you can put pressure on it and see where it's leaking can you not? You have always had issues with your high pressure oil side haven't you? You've gone through a LOT of HPOP's.

I believe he has, i have a leak in my HPO system and have heard of the pressure thing to hear leaks, but haven't tried it and i need to to figure this crap out i'd hate to change one thing if it's actuallly another thing
