Default Swapping my 68k injectors for barely used ones

I am considering swapping my 68k mile injectors for some injectors that have like 60 miles on them. The problem is that they have been sitting for 4 years and wasn't sure if there may be an problems with them. I know that they have been keep in good storage but was not sure if any gas that may have been left in them would create a problem. I know if you leave a carb with gas in it for a few years it will make the carb gummy or dusty inside and was not sure if that same type of thing happens to injectors. I dont want to pay to have them cleaned and just thought I would swap them out cause the 60 mile ones I have just sitting around.

If there is nothing wrong with the one's in your car I'd leave them alone. Your not going to see any gains swaping a good injector with another good injector. Just my $.02.

Unless you are upgrading a 99-00 motor to bigger injectors, I'd leave the proven one's inplace.

The '98 & '01-'02 cars have 28lbs injectors. 99-00 have smaller ones.
