Done...truck runs pretty well. We'll giver her a shakedown tomorrow; it's starting to rain and it got cold. 6 1/2 hours to remove & reinstall the ip, injectors, olives, and valve cover gaskets. I'll run it for a few hours and pull #6 and #8 injectors to see what's up.

I coat mine with a nice coating of wheel bearing grease prior to install to prevent such rust... seems to work.

Thank you for the replies guys! I had the hood up for two days charging/replacing the batteries before I did the fuel system repairs...and it poured down rain one day. I replaced my hood cowl seal this spring after snow plow season, so I know it didn't come in that way.
Thanks again for the sage advice!
Cheers,

So, not wanting to goon up my engine after yesterdays work, I called around to get my truck timing set. The cheapest quote I got was $285.00 (he said it takes three hours!). I already have a good timing light; OTC 3367. For that money, I can buy the Ferret Industries pulse meter V765-01; Ferret Instruments V765-01 Injector Tester - Fuel System Tools
Besides a turnbuckle for setting the RPM at 2,000...is there anything else I need?
Thanks,
