Well, they originally quoted me $25 per injector to rebuild, which I thought was a deal. Mark, the shop owner happened to be swinging by my house and offered to pick them up. I thought it was too good to be true. When he showed up, I told him I wanted them set at 135 bar, and he got upset and said that the quote he gave me was just to pull the old nozzles and exchange them with the Monarks. I could have done this, and I told him this was unacceptable and that they had to be cleaned, serviced, pop-tested and balanced. He upped the price to $35 per injector. While not thrilled with the change in price, I didn't have much choice with the injectors already pulled on a Saturday morning. He also delivered
them back to my house free of charge on Monday afternoon. FYI, that price was to clean, rebuild, and test... not install them in the car...I did that myself.
If I had the time...perhaps a spare set of injectors, I would have sent them to C. Sean Watts or bgkast. I needed them by Monday night for my weekly trip to NYC.
It turns out the injectors were full of gummy gunk...total mess. Best $ I've spent so far on the beast. It no longer sends out a massive cloud of smoke when it starts, and it is noticeably quieter and has more giddyup.
