Default New Injectors!!

Anybody got some good ideas to extract the oil from the two rear cylinders? Also some ways to prime and bleed the system. I got injectors, i dont want to spend money on a starter as well...

I use a vacuum pump necked down to a brake line hat fits through injector hole...then the traditional bump it over with the injector or glowplug out and valve cover on.

Did you remove the two bolts at the front of the heads? These are supposed to drain the oil out of the injectors. Im not sure how to describe where they are, but supposedly, there are two slug bolts (i think thats what they are called) in the front under the valve covers that when they are removed, allows the oil to drain.

LOL they felt like they were torqued about the same as the injector spout bolts... Which i took a chunk out of my wrist on the AC line where the crimp is flared out getting one out. other than that easy!

So i installed my injectors yesterday. Next time yall do injectors, get a small pair of needle nose vise grips, clamp on to the bolt and also use the allen. It made life so much easier to pull that plug out. No oil in the cylinder and after i manually filled the oil rails, TWO TWENTY second cranks and it fired up! Either i did somethin right or god was shinin on me! BTW those rosewood stage 1.5's are the bomb! Thanks guys for all your help!!
