I did not want to pay $180 to get new injectors but to me, it had to be done. Below is a picture off the old injectors. #3 and #5 are the worst. Would it make sense that back when I did my compression test, that #3 and #5 had the lowest compression? I also had to tap the #3 and #5 injectors out when the halves were dissassembled due to carbon build up.
Picture #1 is of the old injectors. #1 is at the top and #5 is at the bottom.
Picture #2 is of the #3 injector.
Picture #5 is of the #5 injector.
What do you guys think?
