How old are your fuel hoses between the lift pump, filter, and IP? I had a problem where I was getting air in the system. I was getting hard starting and rough idle and once I changed the hoses it was like a different car.

Also redo your return lines and don't forget the dead end cap on the last injector.
Im just about to do my valve adjustment now. Its a first for me so wish me luck. Im curious to see if it makes any difference.

Ill let you know. Thanks for the other tips. I have replaced many of my fuel lines when we installed a greasecar system. But there may be a few lagging behind or some that are needing a change again already... Veg oil seems to eat away at older hoses and if ou play around often with even newer ones, they get really soft and seem to degrade fairly quickly.
