Normal to have to bleed after removing cover of inject pump?

jwjsr · Mar 22, 2014

i just removed the top cover of the injector pump on my 71 ford 400 3 cyl diesel to replace orings on throttle and cutoff shafts. It won't start but i didn't bleed it, I sure hope so!. i don't understand the instructions for bleeding, do you start at the fuel filter by cracking and cranking until no air then tighten and then move to the pump and repeat the same, then to the injectors and do same.
I didn't understand if I need to crack them all at once or one at a time.

Bleed filters as usual.You only need to 'crack' 2 or 3 injectors.The rest
will pick up.I like to open/bleed the high end of the supply line on the pump also.
