I remember the tsrm specifally saying do not drop the injectors when removing them. well i was carrying one into my house and it slipped out of my hand from chest height and fell on concrete. so... is it damaged? i have 6 extra ones so if i shoudl replace it its not a big deal..... thanks

When was the last time you had them flowtested? If I had one that hadn't been dropped, then I would replace the dropped one, but it's also not that expensive to send them off and have them charted. It's probably fifty dollars and a one week turnaround, but well worth it. Good luck.

Ask yourself a question...if you don't flow test the injectors, do you have the time/money to rebuild the bottom end if one causes a cylinder to go lean and detonate or melt a piston?

Your choice...I know what I would do ;)
