The nozzles cost as much as what I am selling injectors for. Unless you find some offshore ones that the tips break off of. And pensacolas rebuilds have a poor performance record.
But if it is all about dollars just prepare to spend it twice.
Hammerdown, that is the reason I use my pump guy also, I have been dealing with the same shop for 25 years and they do it right, now if I could get them to really tweak one up.
It's not all about dollars. However, it is mostly about dollars. It it weren't, I would not be burning free fuel now
For me, some of it is about learning and if I learn how to take another middleman out of my expenses, all the best.
There is also the question of performance. Not added performance but expected performance. I keep seeing posts about pop testing to ensure standard output between injectors. If I buy injectors and merely bolt them in, I won't know. If I buy pop tested injectors, that's more added value that I'd be paying for which I could do myself. If I buy injectors, test, rebuild to spec, test then bolt-on, I'll already be at the same point as if I just rebuilt myself.
You might be right about the nozzles. I'm having a hard time finding them for less than a set of unknown, rebuilt injectors. If I do find them, they may be chineesium. Maybe, after 4 decades of stealing designs and building copies, they've figured it out.
