Long crank times

So my recently purchased 2005 f350 has an abnormal long crank. I searched all the internet and everything pointed to STC fitting. Well I knew I had some other things I wanted to knock out so I ended up buying an update kit from sinister diesel. It included an updated fitting, new degas cap, updared turbo oil feed and return lines, blue spring update, and "dummy" tubes or something like that.

During the last few days I have removed the tubo, and finally got to the hpop. As I was removing the turbo I thought I might have the updated lines as there was no braided area in the feed tube. Sure enough I pulled the hpop and I have the one piece fitting. So now that I have wasted all this time removing all this stuff for no reason I still dont know what is causing my long crank. I am going to probably install the new fitting and lines anyway but where do I go from here?

Thanks

Most likely one of the Dummy Plugs. Update those, you may or not need to update the standpipes.

One of the oil rail nipple o-rings could be suspect, but not likely.
