Default no start after injector replacement/7.3L

I have a 95 powerstroke that won't start after I replaced the injectors. How long does it normally take to bleed the air out of the system? I have good fuel at the filter and I have oil pressure on the gauge. Am I missing something? It cranks just fine but I'm not getting any attempt to run. I'm thinking it's just air but I've cranking it over with no results.
Thanks
Matt

Default RE: no start after injector replacement/7.3L

be patiant-if you replaced all the injectors it will take considerable cranking to purge all the air from the cylinder heads-dont crank the engine for more than 8-10 seconds at a time or you will deplete the oil from the hpop resivoir causing even longer time to start- also make sure the batteries are in great shape and crank fast-it will eventually start and idle poorly-when it does start hold at 1500 rpm for 2minutes then drive for at least 20 miles to purge the rest of the air from the high pressure oil gallies in the heads,mark.
