head problem, oil soked injectors

of guys,

i am in the prosses of pulling my head for a head gasket change.

so i just pulled my injectors, and #3, #5, #6 are covered in oil. and on the side of the block at arounf #3 and #5 oil has leaked out. not a lot, infact the dip stick dosent show any oil loss, and i dont smoke except the plum on start up, and a very very very light haze at idle. any ideas?

Bob

That's actually fuel, the lighter fractions have boiled off. Clean the bores good and use new injector coppers and it'll clear up.
