I'm installing some PD injectors tomorrow and am wondering how you go about turning the crank by hand? I need to do it to release the rocker from the down position. Thanks!

u need a 19mm 12-point socket and some muscle :D

how are you setting initially the injectors. Bentley calls for 225 deg turn off the stop but later it was revised to 180 deg. I just set a BEW to 180 and it was definitely peppier.

Use a 19mm deep socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt. You may need an extension in order to clear the harmonic balancer, and the lower pressure pipe will get in your way.
