Replaced Injectors and now fuel in oil, please help!
2003 LB7 stock, original owner, never had injectors done. (Obama said no even when it was still under warranty)
As it says I replaced the injectors and all was well until the oil pressure dropped through the floor. I guess the viscocity of diesel isn't quite good enough.
Thank you for all of the great info here. I have read most of it before I attempted the repair.
I know I have a leak on the work I did but I read somewhere that you can run the fuel rail pressure up to test with the valve cover removed. I have one off now and it runs again but I don't see any leak. I would like to test under hi pressure before I re assemble and try the other side.
Do you know how to run the pressure up without any EFIlive etc....
One more question. Can I use Stainless bolts in the head so they will not rust and give me all that trouble in another 10 years.
Thank you
Mike

As I said I did do my homework. I read every bit of info I could get my hands on. I bead blasted the lines to remove any contamination on the ball seats and up into the clamp area on every line. I know I have a leak under the valve cover by the amount of fuel in the pan, I just need to know how to test the rail under a higher pressure than idle.
I cant drive it to the dealer to test anything in it's current condition.
Thanks for spending the time to discuss it with me.
