Actually, they can't be rebuilt, only cleaned & tested. Once the tip is worn to where you get a poor spray pattern or the injector drips you have to replace the injector.

Just don't put in the blue ones!

Seriously, as long as the computer was taking the impedance from them before, it should be OK now.

I burned an ECU when we put in one that was "bad".

Do have them rebuilt and treat them gently.
