Mostly it was a good thorough cleaning, and inspection. Then I had a friend who is a diesel mechanic with his own shop check the popoff pressures. You have to be sure and lube the parts with a good lightweight oil such as WD-40 or Mouse Milk when assembling them and for gosh sakes keep everything CLEAN!!. By doing this I just assumed the spray patterns would be good and judging by the way the car now runs I lucked out. I replaced the heat shields and return lines. The only problem I ran into was #'s 2 and 3 injector line B-nuts leaking at the delivery valve end. I solved that with an aviation product called "Fuel Lube". (See Post).
