Hooking them up to a battery sounds like fun, did you spray them with a variety of flammables for thrills and excitement?

Buying used injectors

I just bought a set of used injectors. The only have 80,000km on them and oiled and kept in bags. The thing is they haven't been run in a couple years. Am I in trouble with these injectors? Anything I should do before install?

You cant fully test them without a flow bench or installing them to see how they run.

Sounds good. The injectors look in good condition and have no obvious sign of wear. I will buzz rest them once I install. Do you think the plunger could seize from sitting so long?

Anything is possible, but I am sure there was residual oil in them when they were packed by the original owner. I would install them and run the buzz test like Otto said, then go from there.
