Rebuilding injectors

Ok I know most will just say send them out or buy a set already done. Thats not what I want to do. I want to rebuild my own injectors and was wondering if anyone has any advice, besides sending them out, or knows of a decent place to get parts

No one sells the kit anymore. Jim ( rosewood ) did but quit. He couldn't get bits for a decent price that would hold up.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to rebuild them. Unless you have some sort of test stand your gonna have as much in them as buying the parts, time to do it and getting them flow tested as you would sending them in.

I think the problem with doing them yourself is it's really hard to get them all to match and flow right

If all your after is self satisfaction, then tell yourself you are one smart guy for getting them done professionally.

I'm looking for information that could help me here not your little remarks. If I wanted to send them out don't you think I would have already done that. So if you don't have anything thing to add that is relevant to my initial question then please don't comment.

But yes there is a certain degree of self satisfaction and no I'm not some young dumb punk kid.

Rabbit

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Superphylum: Chordata
Phylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Lagomorpha
Family: Leporidae
in part
Genera
Pentalagus
Bunolagus
Nesolagus
Romerolagus
Brachylagus
Sylvilagus
Oryctolagus
Poelagus



Rabbits (or, colloquially, bunnies) are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

All joking aside, this forum prides itself on jokes and off topic comments. Also, there are no stupid questions and yours is NOT a stupid question. As in life though, you don't always get want you want and IMHO your pushing to hard.
