Why not on the injectors.

With all the crap required to remove the plenum, I would ONLY put a rebuilt injector on the no1 or no2 spot, or MAYBE 7 or 8.....

Just not worth it IMHO, unless they will cover replacement cost and LABOR under a warranty.

Yeah but python/ venom is a pretty reputable company is the aftermarket business.

Maybe Heath can chime in on this. Apparently, based on his service records for Q2, he had Python injectors installed and almost immediately had them all pulled and replaced with OEM.

Wow... you have a good memory! That's exactly right. I had one injector die and replaced it with a python. Then another died a few weeks later, so I replaced the other seven. Then I had a hard start condition after a hot soak. The first start of the day was fine... and if I turned the car off, and then right back on (say in 5 minutes) it was fine. But - if I let it sit for say 10 minutes up to three or four hours, it would start hard and I'd get some black smoke from the exhaust - apparently due to the injectors bleeding down and flooding.

As best as I could tell - the reman process is basically a good bench cleaning. The upper portion (coils) were not replaced, and that's half of what goes bad... I never ohm tested them - all of this was in 1998(?) back before even the yahoo board.

I ended up pulling all eight pythons and installing new OEM units, which eliminated the hard start issues.

Experiences like that probably did a lot to shape my "OEM is best" mentality! Wrestling with the "damn spider" three times in 6 months was enough for me!

I understand your feeling that thing is a pain to pull.
