In past vehicles (Nissan pickups) I have had to “re-torque” the head bolts after doing a headgasket. I assume that is not needed on my now studded 6.9 IDI?
That was my thought as well, but that means pulling my r and d rails which is a pain in the neck.It still wouldn't hurt to check the nuts after you've run it for a few thousand miles.
No it shouldn't. All you'd have to do is remove the valve covers. I said "shouldn't" because I haven't seen his fuel rails in person and maybe you do have to remove them to take the valve covers off.That was my thought as well, but that means pulling my r and d rails which is a pain in the neck.
Yes you mostly certainly do have to remove them. I think I could machine Justin’s rails to clear the valve cover bolts but I didn’t want to cut into my brand new expensive product.No it shouldn't.

You do not torque the injectors, you guess I called Justin about that. And they are easiest to instal on an engine stand although very doable in the truck.Seems like I read on Justin`s site, he said to loosen up the Injectors to get the rails on and lined up, then tighten the Injectors.
But how do you torque the Injectors with the Rails on?
And you would need to replace the copper Washers under them.
I might have read it on his FB Page.

It will be ok, what is too bad is the 97 OBS that we have. It’s clean but it just needs so many things before it’s useable and I wanted it to be my summer driver with ACMan that's too bad.
