Slightly... A large portion of using CT to the extent you are fluent is simply over my head.

I went to the actuators after I lost #6 injector - simply to check/inspect and rule out any issues, and since I found the worn step in the rear timing, figured I'd change it now rather than later. I know the fueling is running "wet" but this thing is a soot monster and I'd like to try to clean up the oil - I was trying to rule out mechanical before going back into programming.

My limited understanding tells me it shouldn't, but oil still seems to be taking a lot of the heat that should be going out the exhaust. I don't think I ever saw over 700 on the pyro mounted to exhaust manifold on even the longest pull. I moved my pyro to inside the downpipe today to run for a week.

On a cold start at idle, exhaust manifold runs 120-140, while the downpipe runs around 180 - not sure if that's even relevant?

If this was a gas engine with catalytic converters, I wouldn't feel quite so lost. This is a huge learning curve for me.
