Thanks I appreciate that tip. Still looking to confirm the correct nozzles so I can purchase them.

No, you also need to test them for correct opening pressure and spray pattern. Unless you want to spend the money for the pressure tester and learn how to do this yourself, most economical approach is to send the work to a shop that specializes in Bosch injectors (like the aforementioned Greazzer in Columbia SC).

Greazzer can help you with the correct nozzles. He charges a very fair price for a complete rebuild including new nozzles if he can’t save your existing ones.

You just need to let him know what engine they came from so he can get the right nozzles and set the correct opening pressure.
