can I test injectors before installing??
I'm finishing up my 7.3ps, and about to install the injectors, is there any test I can do on them before I put then in the heads. I'd hate to put this engine in the truck and then find out the injectors are bad.

Yep Jose, but an injector flow bench is mighty expensive to own.
Like Andy said, most injector rebuild shops should have one if you think they need to be tested.
The place you got them from should have flowed them of they are a quality re-builder.
If you're doing a set of DIY'ers then I would definitely get them tested.

When my neighbor needed some tested he had to send them to South Mississippi, somewhere near Jackson, I think. No one had one in Montgomery or Birmingham Alabama

but seriously, in the AG shop on campus we have an injector tester...you stick in the injector on the instrument, full the tank w/diesel, pump up the tester then open the valve and it allows you to see the atomization of the fuel as the injector does its thing.
We have used it on a few tractors, my truck and another guys 6.blow and it has worked well

Just make sure the injectors are seated all the way down. I use a rubber mallet. If it's cocked going in you might nick an o ring. Use lube.
