Who thats an awesome deal! I appreciate it man!

Why would you not recomend idling it for an extended period of time?
What sort of symptoms was the shop equipment exerting with bad injectors?

when I first put my 5x.016's in my truck it always had a haze of smoke out of the stack and ideled very rough. Sent them to chris @ SDX had them repoped ( 2 injectors where set at 230 bar insted of the 280 they were suposed to). Now the truck does not haze and idels very smooth.

So how much smoke do they spew at different degrees of throttle?

i would have them pop tested first before you buy new ones. i know around here its like 30 bucks to have it done, but hey if zack_west would do them for free thats even a better deal :tu:

ya we have injector testing equipment at our college when i tested mine they were popped at 220 bar i think supposed to be 260 bar. and i was told idling for long periods of time would burn a hole in the piston if prolonged. or thats what one of the service techs at western equipment said(i was out on service call with him). but ya if you want to send them to garden city i'll do them for ya.:tu:

Well a rod bearing went or a valve dropped, so I"m not too worried about it right now ;)
