Default Injector Question

Hey guys!

I had a quick question on my injectors, I'm thinking one of my injectors is bad and ticking so I'm going to swap that injector into another cylinder and see if the tick follows the injector.

So I was wondering if you can reuse the copper washers that are with the injector or should I get new ones? If so can I just go pick some up at the auto parts store or do I have to order them. I want have everything ready before I take any injectors out because its my daily driver.

All of my info is in my sig!

Thanks!!

It's possible to reuse the sealing washers, I would just make sure they're nice and clean before you put them back in. Also make sure the injector hole is clean as well. It's easy for a little piece of carbon to prevent it from sealing correctly whether you use new washers or not.

Hey guys I had another question. Is it possible to rebuild a stock injector? If so do you buy a kit? Or should I pay someone to rebuild it or just buy a new one.
