Injector Cup Replacement
Ok I'm missing something I think. Just got done with Injector cup replacement on my 2000 F250 7.3L. Cranked the engine over by hand before putting it back together and got most of the oil / sludge out of cylinders.
Got it all put back together, but she no start. With booster attached she's spinning strong. A couple times it sounded like she wanted to try and right about then the battery ran out of juice. I heard that getting them started after this operation can be, shall we say challenging?
Is there anything I should check that you can think of that I might be missing. I didn't really have a step by step on this one, but between you guys here and a few videos on Utube think I got the job done right. The couple times it did try to start wife said she saw smoke out the exaust.... I take it that's left over oil in the system, sure does smell like it.
Do I just get them batteries charged up again, and crank away or?
Any help/thoughts appreciated.

ya you should be good, some refill the oil rails in the heads. i did not. it just took a little longer to fire up. check to make sure your hpop is full of oil though. and let the starter cool down some in between try's .

Ah... I have a demonstration for you. This is my startup after I did cups, complete with what's going on in the truck.
If things get too stubborn, you can always pull the connector on the ICP to get it started quicker.

Man if that was just the 2nd time you cranked it over Stinky started up quite easy lol. thinking about opening fuel filter just to make sure its full up. With my luck I'm pump air.
I like the looks of that app you have on tablet. What is it?

if momma says she saw smoke the fuel is getting there "white smoke" . as stated, check oil, charge batt., and have at it. it took mine about 5 or 6 try's before she fired.

Wow way over my head. how do I check for 500 PSI of ICP. I see an ICP connection in Tugly's reply picture. If not at 500 PSI how do I get it up there?

I know oil level is not full up. But that like wouldn't keep it from starting would it? I almost feel like online with tech support for cars..... my car starts but the no 2 cylinder is misfiring.... Well does the horn work? Sorry, I'm not real big on diesel engines, I knew this was a big job to undertake while not knowing what I am doing.

Big time! There is a meter top-center on my computer - that's the ICP reading. You will note that the truck doesn't fire until the ICP bumps... that's oil reaching the High Pressure Oil Pump and the injectors. Low oil - no start. These injectors are triggered by the electrical signal, but they are oil-powered.
