I've started doing the fuel plumbing in the engine compartment. I've pulled the injectors, inspected them, wiped them down, replaced the hoses and seals. One of my injectors has a couple of cracks at the plastic tip. The cracks radiate out from the hole where the needle is. This either was like that, or became like that when butterfingers here dropped it on his workbench- it landed square nose down on the table, and none of the other injectors have cracks like this. That said, is this injector now unusable? I've got 4 NOS injectors still bagged and in their original wrapping, plus I've got 4 used ones that honestly have been sitting around- two which I won't use because they're rusty and crusty and possibly exposed to the elements, and 2 that look very clean but weren't likely stored with kerosene in them like Jim likes to recommend. But they look very clean. So, what should I do here? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
