fuel injector rebuild kit

[edpdx]

I have read all, I think, threads regarding fuel injectors on this forum. It is my feeling that the injectors in my Blazer could use a rebuil. I understand that they are not too difficult to R&R; but I also have read that they can be easily rebuilt- though not easily tested by a DIY'er.

Is there a good place to get a rebuild "KIT"? What type of injector would I have (be rebuilding)?

For the price, it's hard to beat a "professionally rebuilt" set. I got mine for roughly $150 after core refund. They were rebuilt Bosch injectors.

Where did you get them from SGT E? Online source?

If you do them yourself your pop pressures will be all over the board. IMO, get a set of the larger nozles and have a shop rebiuld them.

You should expect to pay about 350$ for a set of quality reman Squirts. Beware of "new" bosch injs on ebay. They are crap made in India. go to a trusted local rebuilder and ask if they use German made bosch tips. Anything else is garbage. I know a couple people who bought "good deal NOS" bosch ones on ebay and it cost one guy his motor. You can't rebuild your own without the proper test equipment. I have a Kent Moore pop tester. What I don't have yet is the source for the shims to set pressures and a place to get German tips.

I answered your question the first time you posted it

Ah, thanks! Ya, I wrote it down on my card, but forgot to write down that is where you got them from. Sorry, my fault. I have never been known for my outstanding note taking ability, LOL!

I don't think they are using German Bosch for that price. Mos likely India made junk.

I have done it, if you can change spark plugs, you can rebuild and install the injectors.

I hear you Kipman, just worried about no help around. I am THINKING about pulling the injectors off of Knocky and putting them in PITA while I rebuild them. I hate to do that, but PITA is my DD and that's the only way I can think of. I'm just worried about messing them up or getting a spec of dirt in it and all my effort wasted. I guess I'm just not setup to be doing that sort of stuff over here yet. I would rather shell out the bucks (this time) and get a set that are rebuilt and pop tested correctly. At least I would still have a set on hand that I can take my time and rebuild.

And you tested them ? I would not run squirts that have not been pop tested and pressure set.
