thanks for the info... i just talked to RC engineering...and they said that unless they flush the injectors with gas after every run...it's likely that they are not rebuildable because the alcohol will "melt" the inside of the injector...so i think i will pass on the used injectors and go with new ones

Summit Racing started to sell the popular Ford Motorsports "150lb/hr" fuel injectors for under $500 for a set of 8.

That's less than $70/each, but you need a buddy to split the cost.
