Problem with pod injectors..

..Let me start off by saying I am fairly new to the diesel thing, and I am still learning. Anyways, I had a set of pod's put in my early 91 about 2 months ago. Last week I was hauling a motorcycle when I started to hear a ticking-like noise. Turns out the injector on no.1 was no longer sealing and with every compression stroke there was a pffft noise. So I took my truck back to the guy that installed them and had them removed. He claims that no.'s 1,3, and 6 were all leaking.

I got to thinking that my truck should have 9mm injecotrs, and the pod's should be 7mm, right? This guy is big into 2gen pulling trucks, so he isn't too familiar with the older stuff. All I know is that the sooner I have to stop driving my Ramcharger (360, 4.10 gears, nuff said) the better. What do you guys think? TIA...
