    Hi, Thanks for your reply. All gaskets are brand new. But I didn't bleed it. I thought it's self bleeding. Is there any procedure for that?

Thanks to the posts on this forum I managed to figure it out what the problem is. The first injector was leaking. I also could start the engine with easy start. I...
