You would put new injectors in a motor that has low compression

well dry compression numbers are typically low (static compression) I would say either do a wet compression test or slap new injectors and all in it... depending on those numbers..... either way .. can put those new injectors into new motor if it comes to that as well.... cant expect good numbers on a dry comp. test

yes, the oil gallery is a 1/2" square at the top and under it is a 1/4" square for the fuel. put a pan ander the truck unless you want a mess.
