To me that implies cutting corners and/or substandard parts. That never sits well with me.

A proper diesel injector rebuild includes:

1. disassembling the injector bodies
2. ultrasonic cleaning of injector bodies and all internal components
3. replacing the injector nozzles with new ones
4. reassembling the injectors
5. pop-testing the injectors
6. shimming them to the correct pop pressure


If that $89 per injector includes new high-quality nozzles, that's a very fair and decent price. Fratelli Bosio nozzles for the 606 are $52 each FYI.
Step#? Lapping the precision surfaces inside of the Injector.
