Take apart both oil pumps and use the pump with the longer gears (height-wise). The plastic can and should be transfered to the pump you are using.

I believe the exhaust valves shouldn't be ground because they are hollow and filled with sodium.

Looks better than stock.

I had similar problems and it was a tiny hole in the fuel supply line. You should still test for the plugs but I would also make sure all hose clamps are tight and there are no cracks in the fuel lines.

You could just get new nozzles, which is much cheaper than new injectors. Glowplug in cylinder 2 may be burned out and maybe more.

I think you screwed yourself when you drilled out the OUT banjo.

You're fine. Mine is 1 PSI at the filter flange when hot.
