Message: [QUOTE="Strokersace, post: 1547987, member: 622"] Are you guys really serious?!?!? [emoji23] I’d have expected better knowledge out of you fellow “experienced” 7.3 guys. By hand, then use the starter? Mess up the valve train? COME ON!! Work smarter not harder! Big Bore (sorry man I can’t remember your name as it’s been YEARS! Frank is it?), do it how you’ve always done it!! So long as there’s oil in the bottom of the engine to lube the rotating assembly, you won’t have an issue. There is NO compression in any cylinders, so even though Berman has apparently reverted back to his dipwad days, it won’t cause issues with the vavletrain at all! Throw a few bolts into each VC, keep the 42 pin connector unplugged so the idm isn’t commanding fuel injection, and bump the starter several times. Pull covers, clean up any messes as oil drips off them, reinstall what’s left, and change the oil for good measure since it now has raw fuel in it from the injector swap, then go drive the piss out of it to get the air out of the system! If I’ve done one 7.3 injector swap this way, I’ve done 30 (maybe more) over the years. Never once have I (and likely hundreds of other people) EVER had a problem only bumping the starter to evacuate the cylinders. [/QUOTE]
