You went over my head. What do you mean? I'm a pipefitter/ pipewelder. Electrical is out of my range

If the meter isn't on the right ohm range the 11 and 13 readings might be 1.1 and 1.3 and the 35 and 54 might be 3.5 and 5.4.

Maybe you just didn't notice the decimal point when ohming the old GPs.

It's just strange that ALL the GPs would be bad.

You have 8 new GPs so you might as well install them.

While you have the VCs off you can retorque the rocker pedestal bolts and the injector hold down bolts

Also a good time to let it idle and watch the injector oil discharge.

i thought that too so i double checked them. 11 was the lowest. i worked on the driver side. changed all 4 and cleaned the vc up and cleaned out the intake tube. checked the turbo for any play. its tight zero play. also noticed the plug at the base of the turbo pedestal is unpluged. i ran out of time before i made it to the pass side. gotta pick the kids up from school and bus stop then we are going out of town for the weekend.

well i pulled the pass vc and changed the gp's. fired it up (its not cold) and watched it run for a minute. it wasnt cold. its kind of hard to see the back 2 injectors discharge but it looked like there was more oil coming from both of them. the front injector is a different color, does that mean its been changed? i think 1 or 2 on the driver side were the same color as that one too.
