I too understand that they can be reconditioned.  Try Marren Motor Sports http://www.injector.com/
They are pretty well respected in racing circles for being injector wizards.

Subject: Replace fuel injectors?

Dear Wise List:
 
I'm putting a new engine in my '86 Westy this week.
Tested old fuel injectors (180K miles, originals)--only one worked right.
 
My wife and I are going to tour the whole country in this van--I'm looking for
very high reliability, and maximum gas mileage, of course.
 
Should I try to get some used injectors, or cough up the $400 for new?  I
can afford the cost, but have been advised to try to get used ones.  I lean
toward new.
 
Thanks very much,
 
Steve
