quick check on injectors. 3 out of 6 were fine. cleaned them up with ultrasonic cleaner.
got better ohm values after cleaning. from 14.8 to 16.5 ohms something.

Maybe you should open hydraulic lifters to get dirt out from them. There is small snapring in top of lifter, after that piston and valve will come out and you can clean lifter from inside and check inner bore condition also. Dont mix pistons and valves to other lifters, and becarefull snaprings will fly cross the room when you twist it avay with skrewdriver!

thanks, I guess I will open them too. those passages didn't seem so clean at all. I don't have every right tool so I need to figure out something to open them.

You need just 2 skrewdriver. With bigger one you press piston down 1mm and with smaler one you take snapring out. Little magnet will help you to take piston and valve out from lifter.

After you have assembled lifters back together sink them to motor oil and pump few times piston to fill it with oil. You can feel when piston wont compress anymore, then its full.
