Default Used Injector?

Should I be a little hesitant buying a set of used ford SVO 30# injectors?..They were used on a vehicle for 2 years...

Yes, you should be a little hesitant. You need to feel confidence in the seller. For example, I sold a set of used injectors last year, when I upgraded to 42s. They were in perfect condition and I never received a complaint from the buyer. And he got a good deal, because I knew I could not get what I paid for them. But again, you need to feel confident that the seller is honest. Also, require multiple pictures of the injectors, and ask for more if the ones you receive are not detailed enough.

Even if they were turds you could have them sent off and rebuilt for cheap...

Most good companies that do injector service will also 'flow-test' them both before and after and then give you a printout of what each injector actually did...

Well I got a pretty good deal(I think) on some Ford SVO 30's...The bid ended at 107 bucks for a set of 8...I was a little hesitant, but I was like **** it...The guy had them on his car for 4,600 miles then took them off cause he sold the car...Not to bad considering the cheapest place I could find them was 250 new...
I guess summit realized the high demand and raised there prices awhile back...
