Unhappy HPOP PROBLEM/HEAD?

my 96 stroke begin starting hard after sitting for 30+mins cold or hot and now after 3 min. i pulled the valve covers and and onthe driver side the oil return on all 4 inject. is good and steady but on the pass. it barley seaps out on all 4 when running trying to find out if the oil hose can collapse on the in side or the pump is going. runs fairly smooth considering but in gear with brake on you can diffently feel shake. has anyone has this or know of what might be going wrong thanks for all the help

That's usually a sign of a blown injector o-ring or two. It's bleeding off excess pressure. Get a set of Ford / International / Alliant o-rings for the injectors. Don't get the cheap ones from the parts store.

ok i changed out one injector with one i know is good and the oil is a little more coming out the out spouts but still real weak compared to the driver side do maltiple o-rings go bad at once or injectors and on the same side? i do want to put a guage on the oil line to compare the two sides when i did a koer test the psi said 3000 i think at idle but then again the drive side looks good at the spouts

That would work, but getting it inline is difficult. The easy way to do it is use one of the fittings in the oil rail on the inboard side of the head. You can remove the plug and plumb your gauge into that hole. You can also use the ICP sensor hole on the driver side for the gauge.
