Great, i dont think it will really take that long to do a uvc, just some tubing and valve covers to come off. I have good glow plugs in there already. other than a foil delete is there anything i should do while i am in there.

Dan swears we all need to be re-torquing our valves. If you search his posts (Kwikordead) he tells you the proper torque for everything. He's a pretty smart fellow so once you have the covers off I'd go ahead and do it. If your lucky he'll chime in and tell you here where you don't have to go looking.

Run it with the covers off & note the oil coming from the injector spouts,,,..

They should all have the same amount of oil spitting out....
