I was thinking the same. I have seen a set of OEM injectors cleaned and tested for around $180. I'll ask at the machine shop if there's anyone local that can do it. If not I may buy them.
Cheers John.

Be careful buying used injectors online. I have been burned before, and also have had very good results. Check out the seller and reviews at least. Mostly "tested" means they simply measured coil resistance, sometimes it means they applied some voltage and heard a click, sometimes it means they were actually flow tested. Sometimes "cleaned" means they hosed them off. Sometimes "rebuilt" means they replaced the little inlet screens. Check them out well before installation, visual inspection, apply a 9V battery and listen for the click, if no click then don't install it.

think the original suggestion was to send your own injectors to a shop specializing in injector testing for less money. That will probably be more reliable than buying a set with unknown origins.

Thanks guys.
I agree. Buying from a seller and not being 100% sure is not what I want to do. I have an injector testing and cleaning set up coming. I prefer to do things myself. It'll be nice to have for future maintenance. I removed all valves and lapped them in. Guides are in great shape and I have new stem seals coming. Should be able to start rebuilding when the parts get here. Not sure if I already mentioned it. I checked the block for flatness and it's perfect.
Cheers John
