Anyone tried this?
So I used a port a power to pressure up my oil rails and here's my results. I'm looking for someone who has done this to compare notes and knowledge. Cause I ain't got a clue what I'm looking at!!

Hmm...
Time to pull the driver side valve cover and see where the oil is going. Check the oil rail plugs for signs of leakage.

Could be a bad injector o-ring too. When the pressure is higher it may bleed down, then when the pressure is reduced it holds. You have checked the hand pump to make sure it holds pressure right?

Wouldnt that test be better with the valve covers off to make sure your pressure loss wasnt through the injectors themselves? Just a thought.

Is the driver's side the one that you did not replace the injectors?

Your on to something, like to here how it comes out. Talk to the injector builder, they may be built to bleed off some.
