I'll be firing up my first 6.5 build this weekend. I tightened the 3 injector lines under the turbo side heat shield since they're tougher to get to. Left the remaining 5 loose.

Any thoughts on if it's a bad idea to crank it until there's fuel at the these 5 injectors, then tighten, start it, & see if it will purge the air in the 3 lines not bled?

I suspect it will start this way but don't have any practical experience on purging air from the 6.5/DS-4 injection system. If this is a bad idea, I'll go to the work of getting at those injectors under the heat shield & bleed all 8.

Would appreciate any thoughts from experienced folks on which way they'd recommend.
