The one thing I reccomend is snugging your cross over tubes/fuel lines into the injector before torquing the hold down on the injector. 

 

Maybe @dripley got me pulled side ways... Sorry about that... Yeah, you only need to just tighten the nuts after priming the system.

Dont know how i got that turned around, but I sure did. Sorry for the confusion.

Haha no problem guys!  I was really confused for a second.   The pump should be here by Sat Morning at the latest.  Starting tear down today.  Also running 1/2" lines and replacing all banjo bolts with these:

Wow guys, look what I just found out about my VP44 as I started the tear down process.

Nice! That will do it.

Tappet cover is leaking.  Ordered a new gasket!

 

Also, just decided to put my mouth on the injector lines and blow through them.  They are hard to blow through.  Is that normal?  They all seemed the same.  I even blew them out with some air, and all seemed the same with no obstructions.

 

Normal ?

Yes. They are very on the inside, maybe 1/16" or a little more. They are a double walled. I have picture somewhere. I will post when I find it.

That is the cylinder head end of #5 injector line minus the short piece that broke.
