The pintel caps aren't the pintels nor are they the bores they ride in.

These guys aren't rebuilding - they are cleaning & testing. And like I
stated earlier, if it's worn it's a throw away.

I'll stop short of calling any business that claims to rebuild injectors
crooks but they are definitely in the grey area.

BTW, I used to rebuild Bosch diesel injectors for myself & friends and I
still have the pressure tester needed to test them. Mechanical diesel
injectors are just poppet valves set to open at about 4 BAR and the housings
can be disassembled. But even with these, you don't rebuild the injectors -
you replace injectors that fail with new ones. Someone "rebuilding" these
can't afford to drop in new injectors because the cost is higher than the
service they are offering.

I just looked at their web site.  They do NOT disassemble them, but do a
very thorough cleaning, and replace the pintel caps (I don't know either!).
