Holy SCHHMMMOOKE....... That's beyond ridiculous.....
Well, I guess go with the sea freight option and try to keep her alive for another few months !!
It would ruin your bank account very quickly too....
Yep, I advise to get them checked no matter where or who you got them from.
Everyone makes mistakes, bad parts slip through quality control, some folks just sell straight junk to make money at the expense of someone else's trust.....
Even if I got a brand new set from Heath today..... I...
matuva this isn't going to be an option for you or your friend due to your location.....
But, for everyone in CONUS...... Take a look at govliquidation.com
They have engines up for auction all the time.... 90% of them start at $150 and never recieve any bids. A lot of them are "take-out"...
Agreed..... Let's get back on track here.
The main point here is that Injectors are critical and will destroy your 6.5 without you even realizing what is going on until it's over.....
You're best off to stick with high quality injectors right from the start, like genuine German...
Kenny, To my understanding....which I admit is sometimes skewed or inaccurate.....
No one, including me, is calling you an a-hole or "ball buster" for sharing your opinions, sharing your advice/knowledge/experience/observations, or for disagreeing with another members...

I can see how my "ball busting" comment "looked like" it was aimed at you..... It was not aimed at you and only you. You are one of the "ball busters" in my opinion, but not the only one.
Go back and read GW's "east bound and down" thread starting at the point his engine blew up...page 3 I...
I have a feeling this "rant" may have been aimed at me.... Not sure, but just in case it was, here is my thought. Take your own advice.... if you post something, you are going to get others input and opinions on what you posted. As far as I know it is an open forum... Wouldn't be much of a...
