I will have a complete injector tester as soon as I can get out in the shed at work. They shelved one. It has 10 graduates I can flow test.
Hey I have a fuel rail and injectors off a 2.5 I don't need. If you need them just pay shipping I'll send them your way.
Thanks for the offer but I think I'm good at the moment. I think I'm going to go straight into putting it back together.
An update since my last post:
I got it to a machine shop and they magnafluxed it and found 3 of the 4 chambers had cracks. Time to get a reman.
Found one at Allied Motor Parts somewhere near Atlanta. Ordered and had it the next day (today). $330 shipped with camshaft, lash adjusters, and roller followers. $50 core with prepaid label. Not too bad considering machine shop was going to charge about $250.
So far I just opened the box to take a quick look and I was wrong about the factory valve head height (if they machined this correctly). The valve heads are 0.050" proud of the seats. So this makes the recession on mine as follows:
Cyl 1: 0.080"
Cyl 2: 0.070"
Cyl 3: 0.050"
Cyl 4: 0.050"
Someone on another post said the lash adjusters only had about a 0.60" stroke so cylinder 1 and 2 should have had 0 lash as they bottomed out the HLA travel.
