Default NEED HELP!!! Can't get 6.5 to fire

Replaced head gasket. 93 6.5 td Can't seem to get fuel to cylinders. Was told air got into system when I removed injector lines. Tried several different techniques to eliminate air but nothing seems to be working. Been working on this going on three days. Need to be at work tomorrow, contract job. Don't know what else to do. I really could use some help. Any Ideas, suggestions,possibilities,guesses, I'll try it. Info. Greatly appreciated....

Crack all the lines on the injectors. Turn crank it till fuel comes up. If it doesn't the shut off solenoid may be junk

Default Thanks for all the info/ found problem

Thanks for all the info. I learned alot. I have a lot more questions too! But I did find the problem. When I replaced head gasket, I also replaced the fuel line from filter to IP. Not paying attention< I cut new line about an inch too long. When I bolted filter to intake, it kinked the too long fuel line. As you know being under the intake, I couldn't see fuel line. After about 10 days of trying everthing anyone would suggest, I decided to start over again. Thats when I found the kinked line. Cut inch off, put all back together and after a few, had fuel, then started right up. I don't have to tell you what it smelled like where my head was!!!
