Rebuilding injectors

Panhandle would be bottom right. Main cities are Juneau, skagway, Sitka, etc. Can't even drive to them, probably getting their fuel from Washington. I'll do some more checking to be safe.
 
Juneau. This was about 3 years ago, both my friend and cousin lived there and were helping each other fix their rigs. Not really blind leading blind, kinda hazy eyed leading each other. Both started having leaking fuel lines around same time, and one called me. He knew about biofuels causing rubber line leaks, but didn't know to use sae30r9. After traking it down, they were fueling up at same place. Actually sent me a sample to test for them. It was good stuff as far as ethol cut bio goes. High lube, clean burn, no bugs- just not good for rubber, aluminum, or red metals.

They have both moved since. One back to Utah the other still in AK, but no telling where. He went to live "in the sticks" as he put it.
 
I have 100 +- shims I got at local picknpull yard. They had lots of ooold MB diesels, real junkers. Nozzles pitted badly. Took apart for shims. MB turbo, non t, 240's 300's, 6.2 chev, all the same diameters, holes in the middle slightly diff sizes. All bosch nozzles, all work. A few I had to stack shims, <- not a problem.

Actually, I got a few rebuilt nozzles for MB 300d turbo engines, $5 each, sweet! I think the owner took car in to shop, 1st thing, it seems, they replace the nozzles, worn out motor, still wont run, sell car to 'Ecology' junk yard. Got a set of eight 6.2 nozzles $40, (careful! make sure they arent the older coarse threaded nozzles), half were good as is. 'nother score!

Where I have purchased (bosch german) nozzles in the past, they changed to 'Diesel Kiki' (japanese) nozzles, they work for me, any other opinions on Diesel Kiki??

-c-

(edit: I got a Bacharach (?) nozzle tester at a yard sale for $5 years ago, I think Navy surplus from WWII, took a while to find a filter for it.)
 
So after not being able to get any of the fuel companies to answer my ?s, I decided to play it safe and got steel shim stock. Got the 4 I already had done reshimmed and will hopefully do the others tomorrow morning while it's still cold outside.IMG_20170323_173925.jpg
 
Well at least once it's done, you don't have to sweat it.

And if you are trying to do them while it is still cold outside, you have a few months, not just tomorrow morning. When your kids can sled down your roof, that is too cold. I have to keep mine from jumping off the roof into the pool.
 
Where are you finding the nozzles? Rock Auto is only showing 1 available, Summit & O'Reily's have none, and most of the other Google results are ebay or Chinese web sites. I'm not confident in getting genuine Bosch from them.
 
Leroydiesel.com sells complete Bosch injectors. All Bosch are now made in India.
They are good quality, but the very best ones are no longer made. If you can find these nozzles on ebay- grab them up. Last time I got ahold of 8 sets and sold 6 off to guys here at my cost. See pic for part number.

Thanks, not much on ebay just now, 2 from Latvia and 1 from Australia, and $45 each. Might as well get the set of complete injectors from Leroy.
