Hate the forward opening hood though.

This test is good enough. if your injectors pass then you don't need rebuilding.
Never drove one of those. I heard mixed reports - extra weight and complexity. If I lived in a snowy region would be much different.

The hood got old in a hurry. First time I swapped the timing belt I took the hood off. And then, whoa, getting it back on is a PITA. I eventually had to rig up a way to hang it down from my garage door opening. I got to where I could do it with the hood in place but not fun.

The MBZ extra wide hood opening is like the polar opposite.
