Not what I wanted to hear, but prob what I needed to hear.

Just talked to BUP and will be moving forward with the injector service.
Now I need to get a list of all the gaskets/O rings needed to access the injectors.

***Hint:*** anyone doing injector service might want to put together an O ring/gasket set for injector installation.
Have it all - Thanks for the call as well.

That's great. We kind of touched on that in conversation, but got side tracked. Or I misunderstood. Thank you

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Still wondering why you guys recommend I NOT modify the valve train for more HP?

Because it is such a good stable setup as is. Make changes and reliability will suffer.
