Default cracked injectors. take a look.......

I was cleaning these up last night, getting ready to put them back in and I notcied 2 of them have big cracks in the tips.

One photo with flash, one without.





Are they still useable? Repairable?

........I wouldn't.
What if they break further and pieces of them go into your combustion chamber?

Just a what if.

what he said. spend a little money now for new injectors, or spend a butt-load later for whatever might get ruined.

Right on guys. I called RC and replacing the caps is a standard part of their cleaning and balancing service. Obviously, they're worn, so better to have them completely checked over before putting them in a rebuilt motor.
