Its completely normal. Some new glow plugs or a glow plug relay could help it if its getting harder to start.

Well if you just swaped injectors its the oil left over from the swap. Give it a few miles and all the oil will burn out.

Sometimes up to 100 or so miles to get the air out and bugs worked out... Get out there, run the crap out of it...
