engine oil level rises approximately 1pt. in 50 miles of city driving. It runs a little rough in the morning, but great when warmed up.
No engine codes.
Replaced- injectors,map sensor, pump & regulator assy..in that order.
The fuel pressure was running at about 45 psi before
p&r change.
Can excessive fuel pressure cause injector failure?

Normal fuel pressure should run 44 to 54 PSI
I would recheck the injector seals

I would check or have checked the fuel pressure regulator. These are known to go bad and number one sign of it is gas in your oil.
