Bleed fuel line

I am just about done with the head gasket job and was wondering if I have to some how bleed the fuel line on the high pressure side that bolts to the head?

Thanks Troy

you can if you like. it's not mandatory though...the best way is to remove the plugs at the back of the head to get fuel all the way through them...you'll have to reprime the HPO system by cranking the starter...this can take awhile sometimes..by the time you get the HPO system back up, you'll have fuel at your injectors...expect it to run a little rough until you have all the air out of HPO system..

The engine is tilted back slightly so the air bubbles will float forward and most will go to back to the filter housing and return to the tank... I think.
