Not quite so.

The injector nozzles are replaced completely with new ones including the
little valve. And they are cleaned and then tested for proper operation.
Cruzin sends a complete performance report of the injectors before
overhaul, and after overhaul, involving pressure check, spray pattern
and firing speed.  And, they return to  you the injector tips that they
replaced.
