Injector install q's
I need the install info...I misplaced my ford manual disk after a burned a bunch of copies for others. Yadda yadda remove covers this and that but what I need to know in as few words as possible is
One injector at a time but what must I drain? Do I need to pop the oil plugs and drain or how about the fuel rail? Or better yet a link. I didnt find a specific instruction on my search of this site.

When I changed one of mine, I thought did everything right. Tried to start and it was hydro locked. Kwik helped me out, told me to pull the glow plug and manually crank it to blow out the cylinder. That did it, worked great. I had cranked it with the injector out but apparently that didn't work. Even though it's more of a pain, I would put the glow plug in last. The clearance is very tight with a socket, but it can be done. Good luck.

I put the new oil pump in and had it packed with petroleum jelly. Then I finished putting her back together at about 3 am and fired up.....
Here is where I may have effed up....My truck never had the crackle injector in it so I did not heed the visual warning.....I put it in the passenger side rear...if this is wrong can I just change the top of the injector?
It took forever to start and I used up 3 cps and none of them ever show the rpms. Crank too slow?
I bumped the engine over after pulling the rear injector one side at a time, then did it manually did it to feel if it was locked and rolling backe. I turned over the engine every time I placed a new injector in, never hydrolocked.
Finally fired up on 3rd good cps same visual on the tack, but wait there's more....shut down and clean up a little, cranks alot to fire again. Oil resevoir is full at this point. Shut down and refire ok, shut down and wait a few cranks alot.
Slight ticking from drivers side. Maybe I knocked a rocker off? No ses lights
Banks system turned to all stock.
How much time to run all the air out of both the fuel and the oil systems?
Test drove about 300 to 500 feet. Blew the turbo hoses off both times. I will be degreasing and de oiling and try and restart my test drive...O and if following Kwiks directions of pulling 2 rears and turning over...HOLY CRAP make sure you have a brick covering your cardboard or mudflap or what ever you placed over the injector hole.
Now I hope my qs can be answered by those with experience in this matter.

Yep, I found out the hard way on the oil shooting out of the injector cups as well. I had to pile a bunch of rags on top of the air conditioner housing to sop up the mess.
It will take at least 100 miles to work all the air out of the HPOP rails.

O yeah I still have my old injectors, rebuild hmmmm well see. Ill post pic of these 450,000 that have run wmo and red fuel and bleach and bad fuel and everything else someone should not do. I dont know if they are salvagable, but the question remains. What will happen if I still run that crackle in 7 instead of 8 and is the top the only difference? I didnt see any difference in the length, in fact when I put all new o ring on it was just the same distace to place each o ring on. Im thinking its just a top firing electronics that I can change.
