I don't think any of us can give you good feedback on Chinese injectors until we have had some time with them . . . let us know how your rebuilt injectors go . . . on what vehicle??

I think the BD ones are rebuilt.
This is for a '69 Fastback I'm working on. Already replaced the fuel lines but injectors are leaking too.

I screwed the pooch. Those injectors came in the mail, and they were rebuilt, not new. Loose plastic tops, that ain't right. Yep they leaked like fountains.
#%)#%)%#)$@+#$@+@$ not only did I lose much needed mechanicing money but also lost credibility.
$100 they should work. This guy better refund my money.
No "I told you sos" please. :angryfire:
I need lots of beer now. :cussing:
Why "rebuild" something that shoots gasoline? You could kill someone...

You were ready to yank the generator on Clementine because the idiot light was on?
You then found a loose wire under the B+ boot? And wrote on the above link about how this wire must have been loose for how long?

D'oh! That's a big confession there. Maybe this thread can provide closure for all of our guilty souls.
