    I spoke with one mechanic with more than 20 years on Detroits and He mentioned that when you do inframe the head must be cut and sometime the block too. Then your head and the block are shorter. In this situation, you may have all the bull gears aligned and the cam still be out of time.....

    This sounds correct to me, but how do you adjust the timing in this case?

    I recently rebuilt my 14l DDEC 4. Full inframe on engine. New injectors 1&3 and new injector harness. No I have injectors 1,2,3 are dead. I check the ecm. Tryed a diferent ecm. What should I check now. Is it possible if one of the injectors shorts out it will turn off the other 2 that work on the same circuit?
