Here is a link for the injector orings and HPOP.

Riffraff Diesel: Alliant Injector O-rings

Riffraff Diesel: Terminator T500 HPOP


Why are you replacing the HPOP though?

Smoke is bad and will dilute your oil quicker. Keep in mind smoke is partially burnt fuel and will hurt your fuel mileage. I would look at some gauges next before a chip and solve the miss as well. I would do orings

Yep. The only difference is the color and the taxes.

The motor from what I can see has never been opened with 285k.. I did the waterpump a few months ago and did the cps just because only to find a oe ford part... also last fuel filter change filter was very black surrounded by clean fuel...this is what led me to believe inj o rings were prolly shot

well that black stuff around your filter could be oil or just a very dirty filter mine was like that and i changed it and looked at it after 600 miles and its clean, i dont blow smoke and my oil is clean still after 400 miles it looks like it just but it in there and i dont know why its still so clean but yea get that air filter 6637 and the down pipe and some exhaust open her up a bit.

A good bypass oil filter will take out most of the soot out of the oil that is produced by 'blowing' smoke. Sometimes it can't be helped when your pulling hard to see the black stuff in your mirror! I did all day today, darn head wind.
