Bo, a couple of things. I believe maximum heel with the engine running is 15? 
degrees. I and that’s about oil circulation. How full was your fuel tank? Did 
you bleed it using the injector pump valve? There should be no air unless your 
fuel system has a leak. Some times the cap on the primary filter gets warped 
and allows air in. Is your lift pump clicking (working)? It sounds like a 
simple air leak in the fuel line to me.
