All this gabble and no one has taken a blind bit of notice of the crack testing mentioned in post #8. It is fundamental to correct injector operation.
You're right but I guess he feels his main issue was the witch's brew that had left crap everywhere rather than the springs or pitting so it should be fine once clean. Easy enough to test the spray pattern into an old plastic bottle. If it doesn't run right then it'll require a professional refurb or just buy a new one. Guess any issues will turn up on the emissions test.
There's a nice home made crack tester here: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum...334-how-build-diesel-injector-pop-tester.html
No he is right.Methinks sir,you are taking the pith
You got a crack tester in your shed? What have I said keep it clean.I'm a tinkerer and a bodger but it usually works out in the end.

some of the best mechanics and engineers I have worked with have never had a formal education. school can only teach you to read a book. experience teaches you to fix machines!I'm a tinkerer and a bodger but it usually works out in the end.

I'd you ever find the torque setting for reassembly.?I may have to do mine soon. I think I have an injector leaking into the cylinder overnight. On start up it feels like the piston is hydraulicing then when it starts there is lots of smoke which clears and runs and starts fine all day.

lol just being polite and answering concerns raised.Oh your soooo sensitive, Wammers challenges everybody, your not really that special.
ok so this got up my nose a bit I'll admit and this was the quote I meant to reply to.Any diesel engine that has done 100,000 miles or more will have tired injectors. It is of course taken for granted that any amateur mechanic who wishes to clean and reset his own injectors will have a tester and a suitable selection of shims to set crack off pressure.
