You don't think this is the source of your knock??

If you lost them in 2 chambers do you think the rest are in good shape?
Like I said, you need to replace them all.

Those balls only serve to atomize the fuel spray providing better combustion and economy. You really think it will make that much of a difference? This knock is not related to injectors afaik as I have cracked each without isolating it. It gets less noticable as the car is warm. I did fix one cold knock by replacing #5 injector. I looked down in the PC and did not see the balls. From the looks of the nubs the balls were literally eaten away. $60 a pop is pretty pricey for a car i paid $500 and a knock I haven't been able to diagnose. I supposed I could start working pull a part over for PC's, some junkyard dog always comes and pulls all the injectors so atleast most of the work is done . Anyproblems with using used PC's? They would get a good cleaning obviously.
