ok, got the injectors in, everything back together and started her up. how long do most trucks run rough for before they new injectors smooth out? also, when I start driving it, should I run them hard, or take it easy?

hahaha, no, there were a few ones, but I got it sorted out in the end. I am concerned though, because this morning I went to start er up and it started fine, but when it kicked into high idle, it was missing a little bit.

When I put mine in it took a long time to start, then a lot of white
smoke. I drove it and everything cleared up. Did you adjust your
valves after you put it back together, did you torque everything
to spec.

everything is torqued to spec, didnt adujst the valves, never heard that I needed to do that. when I started it up right after, it was rough and blew white smoke, but after that smoothed out. drove it 5 hours to come home and this morning it was a little rough, but fired right up better than ever at least.

I'm not positive but i think you have to set the valve lash on the exhaust rockers that you had to remove in order to get the injectors out.

it wasnt in the instructions I got online, but I will do it anyway just to be safe, thanks for the heads up.

the intake rockers are the first set right? and exhaust is the one I took off?

Any time you mess with the valve train you should adjust the valves.
