Question Injector life expectancy?

Wondering what the injector life expectancy is? Considering upgrading my stock injectors with a set of nozzles.

My stockersw were good for about 100 000 kms. Then I noticed increased smoke and worse cold idle. My Mach3s have been in for about 180 000 kms and still performed like day one when I swent them to Don for checking. He stated that they wee like new. (And was astounded of the diesel quality we have over here)

I would not put nozzles on high mileage stock injectors, unless I had a good local shop to inspect, test, and refurbish them before using. JMO.

The shop I have dealt with, told me most stock diesel injectors look pretty badly worn at 150,000 miles.

I'm thinking over a 100k miles, time to replace the entire injector.
