I am glad to hear you had success with you truck project.

I have buffed off a lot of blocks and heads with a die grinder with a roto lock buffing pad without problem.

Well it is hard to say why the injector failed it might have had to close a fit for the parts. Did you have a miss or heavy smoke if you did not have these problems you can use one of the old injectors with new o-rings they most likely were ok or well enough to run longer

Well there could be many reasons for the injector to fail: a slug of water, some dirt, is hard to say it also could be the hold down did not go down square. Are the bolts for the hold downs bolts with nylock on them? They are hard to get even. When I test to see if the injectors are in even i...

On the injector it could be scored plunger or if you had them out an on re-torque it is very important to get the hold down nice and square if you had the injectors out loosen the hold down and see if it frees up. If it is scored and will not move free you will need to replace injector. On the...

Well to me it sounds like to me you did everything you could do for a good install. I am figuring that it is a gasket problem when you take it off inspect the O-ring inserts good. It would be a good idea to put dye in the oil and use a black light if you can.

I am thinking about your coolant leak was it running down the block like coming between head and block?

Yes you are right it almost makes you not want to do something like that!! If the oil is coming out right by a head bolt hole you may be able to or i have heard of this take the bolt out silicone the threads and re-torque. This would be a temp fix but may work. The Cummings head gaskets of old...

Well if you have a leak making a good mess re torque is not the problem in my opinion. Sometimes the rocker box gaskets mess up or the rocker shaft has o-rings in both ends (I have had trouble with these). The only other thing I can think of it maybe the inserts in the head gasket for the oil...
