My suggestion is to do it by feel. That’s how I did mine. At the time I had a new reman injector and felt the resistance on the new injector and tried replicate the tension I was feeling. I also used a dab of loctite on the bolt when the nut was installed.

Don’t forget to buy the injector oring kits. Alliant 6.0L Injector O-rings 03-07 (AP0002). You will need 8 if you remove all injectors. This kit also has the top oring.

Which injector is giving you problems? Did you get codes for cylinder misfires, or misfire counts? I think you are being a bit premature in trying to disassemble all the injectors and clean them. Several good posts on using ultrasonic cleaners, but sometimes those parts are just worn to far and cleaning doesn’t help.

Not sure which one or ones are messing up. I just know that on cold starts when it's 70° outside she sputters for a second and from everything I have found it's stiction. I'm not pulling the injectors all the way apart just cleaning spool valves. When the time comes for injectors I'm going to bite the bullet and get new. I have heard to many people that have had problems with using remaned injectors. If I can take the spool valves out and do some light sanding and make her run better and have the injectors last longer why wouldn't I try it instead of just replacing injectors

I have an edge cts insight. It reads codes but haven't seen anything for cylinder contribution. Just for a crank sensor I replaced and apparently was working fine cause nothing changed. Since both of you have warned me about messing up my injectors I will listen. So what I heard was figure out which ones are messing up and try it on those and leave the rest of them alone. What can I get that monitors cylinder contribution? Thanks. I've got some hot shot stiction reducer in there guess I could let that work over winter. Are their any pour in things I can try like a flush that could help without messing up my oil cooler

Oil coolers plug on the coolant side (the oil side RARELY has an issue w/ plugging if reasonable oil change intervals are followed). The oil additives like hot shots secret and Archoil are not related to oil coolers.

So would you think it would be alright to use one of those engine flushes that you pour in before an oil change and let it run for 20mins and drain. Heard some people say they used kero to do it. I can't afford new injectors and really don't want to mess with them by taking them apart. But I know if I don't do anything it's going to keep getting worse so I'm trying to be proactive in an attempt to save them.
