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 hate sites like that and couldn't find the injectors...Brand new Bosch injectors are available from busdepot....under the 411/412 injection.

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.

not the ones I bought about two years ago, brand spanking new!

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.
I need lots of beer now.
Why "rebuild" something that shoots gasoline? You could kill someone...

Yeah, chinese re-man stuff does mostly seem to be junk so I try to avoid it.
Lesson learned?

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?



I think I get to own that one under Negligent Supervision . . . we took the engine out to do the clutch after the rendezvw June of 2008.

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