:twisted: Use them as exchanges for newly rebuilt ones' or maybe keep one back to make a compression adaptor for a gauge... :twisted:

If you decide to throw them away, I'll pay the postage to have you mail them to me

. Seriously, they are definitely worth keeping as a core. You can get them rebuilt and have a backup set.

Who rebuilds these? I'm in WA State; should I just talk to my local shop, or do I need to send them somewhere; how much should I expect to pay? Thanks -

http://www.coloradobiodiesel.com/injectors/index.html This is the best I know of. Tom does a superior job for a good price (you'll have to call or email him for the exact cost -- I always seem to work out some kind of trade since he's local for me, but I know he's very reasonable). He balances the injectors to within 1 bar and he can recommend different nozzles depending on your application (i.e. how you want the engine to perform, whether you're burning alternative fuels, etc.)
