I would remove the injector lines and try spraying a good penetrant in the outlet. There’s a discharge valve in there but maybe it leaks a little and your penetrant can soak into the piston.
Gentle tapping might get some back down but as mentioned earlier there’s always going to be one or two on the camshaft lobe, so gently is the rule. I personally would use a torch and heat the barrel of any that were uncooperative with the previous measures. The tolerances are so small that even a slight thermal expansion should help.

If you don't have a depth gauge micrometer, I did it with a dial indicating caliper.ccjersey, Thank you so much, that's exactly what I needed! I suspect the torque on the 3/8 fine adjustment nut is around 35ftlbs. Vic

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
