OMG cracked head or bad injectors?

After getting the valve cover off and pulled the 8mm bolts holding injectors those bolts were loose. Then took a lot of force to pull number  one out. The injector was carboned in place.  No copper washer. I've got a fight with 5 and 6 yet to pull out of the head.

 

The truck came in with a complaint of pressure in the fuel tank and spitting fuel out the filler neck.

So I just figured out that I'm going to do a quick test of the head by trading out these injectors for a set of old core injectors I've got here to just see if the compression gases come back to the fuel tank being these haven't been abused or carboned up like the set that came out. I'll keep you all posted. Today is Thanksgiving Today I'm just posting thoughts and now going to be lazy for the day. Watch out some of you might get a phone call from me.

LOL. Others got hit that evening. @IBMobile @IBMOBILE-JEN @Doubletrouble @MUDDY and few others not part of the website.

 

As for today, I've got to get the last 2 injectors out of the head throw in my old core set here which are better than I pulled out and see if the exhaust gases stop in the fuel tank. This will verify the head isn't cracked at all.
