You have an HPO leak, fix the leak and then you may or may not still have injector issues.
The 6.0 takes a different approach to troubleshooting than old school 7.3s or Cummins 5.9. And completely different than a gasser. Just because there is an injector code does not mean an injector is at fault.
The definition of a contribution code means that particular cylinder is down compared to the others. A lot of factors can cause that, not just injectors.

And it is rarely the standpipes that fail, but the Dummy Plugs and STC fitting.

Boy I hope this stuff you're 'throwing at it' is covered under some sort of warranty, otherwise you need to do some better diagnosing, and it starts with a scan gauge or similar so you can look at HPOP oil pressures on start-up.
A rebuilt engine from ford most likely has the new HPOP fitting, but like others have said, maybe not the dummy plugs.

We hired a former Ford tech at work, claimed to know the ins and outs of the 6.0 as we have a couple 6.0 F550, a few VT275 delivery trucks and a couple VT365 trucks.
Guy didn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground and no longer works for us.

I can understand his position, but since you've given $$$ already, yet the problem remains, as was suggested here already, perhaps a third opinion from another qualified place would be wise? Vs. Paying to continue playing parts swap for cash?
