Unbelievable IH Truck Engine Fuel Pressure

It's hard to imagine that IH has been running 20,000 pounds of fuel pressure to their diesel fuel injectors in their engines the last couple of years or I should say two years ago they started that. Fuel cross over lines on top of the heads would leak fuel into the engine oil. Had to put dye in a bucket of fuel then run the engine from that bucket of fuel and inspect the top of the heads with valve covers off and engine running using a black lite and shaded eye glasses to pin point any fuel leaks. What a job. Just taking the valve covers off some of those engines takes 2-3 hours.
Is all this really worth it?
