If your closer to Idaho I'd jump at that. But you're in Cally.

But I got to ask how many miles? Fuel filter changed? Lift pump pumping good? Air in the fuel (suction air leaks)? Wore out injectors?

Is it leaking oil? The injectors are controlled by high oil pressure, if the o-rings at the manifold are leaking it will do that. Have your tech replace them with OEM, aftermarket o-rings won't hold.

Go buy an infrared temp gun and check the exhaust manifold temps. The cooler ones do a compression check. Compression good....suspect fuel system such as bad injectors or oil problems as suggested above.

I just replaced high pressure oil plugs on a 7.3L Ford. Yes. Make sure they are Ford quality parts. The driver side rear plug is PITA to get to.
