thanks!
First thing to do is take them to a injector shop and have them pop and spray tested. They may be fine and up to specs as is and need nothing. They may just need to be balanced and not need new nozzles.


From what I have gleaned here the criteria for new nozzles is if the spray pattern is bad and cleaning doesnt help.
