[Vwdiesel] smoke screw

[peter blake]

Loren,
 Brilliant minds think alike.  I just bought some used injectors,
got 5 of the 130bar and 2 of the 155bar for $40. I'm going to source
some nozzles this week and take a shot at rebuilding them. The only
stick in the mud is that I don't have an injector pressure tester.
I imagine I can find a shop that will test them for me but what I
really need to do is build a tester myself.  I've looked over some
how to threads on the vortex and it doesn't seem all that hard.
On a side note I just got delivery today of a motometer diesel
compression tester. Waiting on the paper graph cards that this 
machine uses.
Peter
