Wouldn't that be the same or better than going out and buying rebuilt injectors?
BTW - he said he had never heard of Bosio, but that his nozzles did come from Italy - thought they were better than the ones they were getting prior.
It is a reputable shop.

Dig a little deeper. In several of the diesel injection shops I have visited to talk to the techs, they had never heard of the pintle holes in the injectors for the 617 engine. In other words they had no idea of what it takes to make these injectors work correctly. There is no way that they can clean the pintle holes in your nozzles for the amount of money we are talking about here.
They do a lot of work on other diesels and very little on automotive diesels.
Often the guy with the certifications is not the one who will work on your injectors.
