In a round about way...

Put the new uvch on... Start the truck with the valve covers off... The injectors should be spilling oil out the little spouts that come off the solenoid...

Install the injectors, making sure to lube them liberally first... Do not hook up the electrical for them. Torque them in place... Pull those glow plugs for those cylinders and spin the motor over... Make sure to have your valve covers back in place with a two bolts, top and bottom to stop the fluids from hitting your shop wall.. Then put the glow plugs back in, connect everything, put vc's back on and start cranking on her...
