How do I do a visual test/check on fuel injectors outside the car on the bench? Any way to tell they're spraying right? I don't want to install this engine and find the injectors are crap.

You can buy an injector testing unit which will fire the injectors a set # of times (the one I use will pulse 10, 50 and 100 times.
Connect to a 12V battery, and with a can of carb cleaner, fill the injector, pulse it, and blow the cleaner thru with shop air. Do it as many times as necessary until you're pattern is good. The tester has got to be under $40 but I did not buy the one I use. As far as matching and flow-testing are concerned, witchhunter in Seattle charges $17/injector. But you're at almost $100 after shipping both ways for a set. ------------------------------------ You could also pull the injectors out of the runners, put them in small jars, pull the dizzy, turn the key on and spin the rotor. You can at least tell if/how they are spraying using this method. |
