I never said dont test them, I have always maintained that if you want to then by all means go for it. I have said that it is not necessary to do it, but again its your choice. Most injector problems are due to the nozzles not functioning properly. Fix the problem and well, the problem goes away.

I did not test and balance them in the '84 and it runs perfectly. Again like always its your call. If you only feel comfortable with testing and balancing them then do that. Never hurts to do it.
