What pop testing does is tests all the components. You can see the spray patternI’m a shop and I source these as new old stock, not parts store junk, not reman, NEW

Yep and I guarantee each of those 20 injectors doesn’t have half as good of a pattern as these new B.B. codesWhat pop testing does is tests all the components. You can see the spray pattern

Actually I have three brand new B.B. injectors in the box I completely disassembled and inspected and found zero difference in spray and actually little less quality machine work internallyYep and I guarantee each of those 20 injectors doesn’t have half as good of a pattern as these new B.B. codes
You can pinch your dime and keep throwing more shims in their to make up for the wear in the nozzle but as said before nozzle is a wear item.... needs to be reground or replaced.....
Typ4 and R&D rebuilds the bodies but put in new tips and needles.Show me anyone that Manufactures their own brand new injector besides the chains. When you buy from most places they are rebuilt and pop tested/ matched. If you’ve ever opened one up you’ll know right away there isn’t much to them
I guess it’s a pet-peeve when someone tries to spread bad info on a forum because someone will be doing research later on and be misinformed because of it. There’s nothing wrong with pop testing to /maintain/ a set of injectors but it won’t fix a worn out nozzle, no amount of shims will fix that. If he found a good set out of the twenty injectors he had then great, he saved himself a buck. But this is the get-yourself-by method, pop testing and shimming does not replace a good rebuild with a new nozzle.I don't understand why he's getting hounded over the injectors.. If he pop tested them and they have equal pop pressure, no dribbling and a good spray pattern, which he says they do, I don't see the problem...

If it did people wouldn’t have issues with eBay injectors![]()
So why would you say there are so many issues with most rebuilders like the hall of shame eBay guys?It’s not Mis information. If you pop test, inspect, and check spray pattern there is zero difference. When you disassemble you can inspect and diagnose a bad nozzle.

I’m not saying you are wrong in doing what you did, it’s just not the same as a new nozzle etc rebuild
