Well after talking to the guy doing my tunes, and talking to Dan at SDK they both recommended unlimited diesel, and they both thought I would be happiest with 160/30. And I believe they will be rebuilt. I have sent them mine and as soon as they get them they will ship the new ones out, so they aren't rebuilding mine anyhow.

Lol, Ill be sure to get the pictures before I put the VC on. I got them all seated, passenger bank has deflectors and hold down bolts torqued. And I used suction on all the glow plug cavities. I thought for sure I had a copper seal left in one of them, cuz when I counted I only had 7. It must have fallen off after I pulled the injector cuz I went thru and carefully inspected each cup and I saw the double ring imprint that the seals leave, and I tried to pry the bottom up with a small piece of wire with a hook. I didnt get anything spent about an hour looking. So who knows where it ended up. . .
Now, I just want to be sure on the crank process. I pull the serpentine and then crank it like 4 times by hand with the glow plugs out valve covers on to purge any oil? Should I fill the oil pan before doing this? Or should I let the old oil drain out? Then After that I put the plugs in and plug the rest of the harnesses in and crank for like a minute to build oil pressure without the injectors trying to run? Ive got my batteries charging
Also, nice meme :P

When I did my orings I didn't hand crank it,I had my buddy do it
. Any way, we left the surpentine belt on. Valve cover on with just a few bolts Cranked it four times by hand. Bumped it for a few seconds with the starter. Replaced the glow plugs, refilled the hpop, pulled the plugs on the oil rail, prefilled the oil rail. Sealed everything back up got the intake back on the started in less than 15 sec of cranking. Idled it until oil got hot. Took it apart again and retorqued the injector hold down bolts. Put it back together, and called it a day.

I got everything ready for cranking, then I got a bunch of other stuff to put in, so it probably wont be going until next weekend cuz Im BOOKED this week so I probably wont have a chance to get at it. And I did a lot of parts so I dont want to rush, need to make sure I remember the drain plug and all that good stuff. . .
