Was about to start the D8 for the first time after replacing the head and piston.

I can't get the injection line to seal on the front injector. The nut will tighten down, but you can still wiggle the line in the nut.

I swapped in a different injector and had the same issue.

Check the ferrule on the end of the injection line. They have been known to split and not seat.

That's exactly what the problem was. I had another line split when I was making sure I had the lines blead.
