    What's the best place to get injectors rebuilt?

      Your own garage.

      I recently upgraded from an 89 XJ to a 99 XJ. In the future I will be Stroking it as I already have a 12 weight crank and con rods, but until then I am trying to do some other mods. On my 89, the best mod I did was put the yellow top ford injector on..


      Also there is no such thing as an injector rebuild. Only cleaning. If somebody tries to sell you on a rebuild, they're lying.

            While you can clean and replace strainers, pintle caps, and seals at home, what you can't do easily is to flow test the injectors. That is a major part of any pro injector work.

              Ok but if a 'pro' flow tests your injectors and one fails, the most he can do is say that you need to buy new injectors. He's not going to fix the injector.

                Granted but at least you know if the injector magnet is failing. The kit is 25 bucks an hour of your time is worth say 50 bucks so getting all injectors done by someone who does them repeatedly is not a bad.

                  I used www.cruizinperformance.com

                  it's definitely worth having them flowbenched. two of the injectors I sent him were stuck, and one was flowing half the amount of fuel. Sure he didn't "rebuild" it but the injectors were all "fixed" and flowed within 1% of each other, so who cares?

                    Great turn around. Half the price of RC. $96 for 6 injectors, flow benched, cleaned etc. You get a print out of before and after flow and pulse rates.
