Default #6 Injector is a .....

So I installed my SDX 150's last night and let me tell you my belly is a hurtin from leaning over the truck messing with the #5 and the #6 injectors. I had to modify a wrench to get the injection tube loose. Having all that Elec harness and throttle linkage that much more challenging.
My question is can you actually tell the difference from sight the difference from the stock nozzle to a 150? They look the same to me. Or is the difference internal???

I highly doubt you can eye ball a difference. If there are a different amount of holes, yes. Otherwise your trying to notice a few thousandths of an inch difference in the holes.

Decided to install studs while I have the valve cover off. Plus I want to check my valve lash while im in the tinkering mood. Anybody have any good tips or tricks to paint valve cover without painting the cummins writing and heat sink viens?

Pretty happy with them. I just thought the 150's would have set you back in your seat a little more.
