Test Fuel injectors

I think i keep getting air in my fuel system. I allready have the fuel injector install kit (not installed yet) but befour i do that, does anyone know if or how you can check the fuel injectors to see if they are working properly. I dont want to change all the o-rings and injector tops to find out latter that it was a bad injector or something the hole time.
Thanks,
Kevin

Take them out and take them to a diesel shop they can test them.....you already have the new copper seals in the kit for injector install. Make sure the old seals are out..........

Also be carefull with the injection lines.
They tend to stick in the nuts when you loosen them which can result is a kinked line.
And be very careful when you move them around the injector, they don't like being bent.
