Are these injectors useable?
I just bought these from another member and they arrived looking pretty rough. I'm not sure if I should even bother using them. There are parts of the end of the injector cracked and missing. What do you think? Without a doubt I will replace the o rings.

I see the pics and looks like the plastic on the bottom of the injector that helps retain the O-ring is what is cracked/broken. You can probably get some more through someone that cleans/rebuilds them. Looking at it you would probably be fine to run with new O-rings.

Strange - they don't show up for me at all.
Regardless, the words "cracked" and "injector" do not belong in the same sentence as far as I'm concerned. Never put you motor at risk with compromised critical components. Injectors are relatively cheap so buy a good used or new set. I think I have an almost brand new, pristine set in storage I pulled off at 3k miles when I installed my FMS 36 lb. injectors a while back and I'm about to pull those in favor of the 60 lb. units my new setup needs.

Try searching for a pintle cap, the purpose of that plastic part is to hold the o-ring in place. You may as well get a whole rebuild kit (o-rings, pintle caps, and filters) while you're at it. Very easy to replace all!

I bought a used set and shipping them to New Era Performance in NY for cleaning and flow measurements. They looked new when I got them back. Give them a call and find out what they think. Mine also came back with the flow sheets and while they are all pretty close to each other I put the one with the highest flow in #7.

I used these guys parts to rebuild my SVO red tops. Ask them if they have a package of 8 bc their packages are much cheaper
