I have had no other reports of the nozzles being bad, having had several other batches go out to people.

It would be good if the shop volunteered to set each injector up for you and show you the spray pattern. They should do this if you report problems.

Personally, I am aware that there are honest and dishonest people in the automotive repair business. Unless you really know the people you dealt with, then you don't really know what they could have done. For example, keeping your nice new French injector nozzles for themselves and subsituting Indian nozzles for your rebuild. That's a horrible thing to think has happened, and I mention it just as a possibility if you happen to open one of the injectors yourself for inspection. It could happen on purpose or by mistake.

I don't have the nozzles in front of me to look at, and can't remember if they have identification on them to let you be sure that your nozzles were used in the rebuild.

So, that gives you two avenues to investigate: Verify the nozzles and verify the spray patterns.

Otherwise I believe you should have reasonable confidence the nozzles I shipped you are good. I sure expect them to be as I have a reserve supply for my own cars.
