1KZ-TE injectors replacement

[Joey55]

Hello y'all I just have a quick question about my injectors and thought I'd ask to see what your take is on my situation. According to Yoshi Parts the part number for my 1996 kzn185 surf is 23600-69105 for injectors. I was wondering if there was a good alternative to replacing the injectors than sending them across the world to get rebuild by a shop for a costly amount. I'm over in the United States. I read a few stories about injectors slowly causing hot spots and cracking the head if not serviced in time. Main question is I keep seeing the same part number for injectors on Ebay and not sure what I should go with. I keep seeing some crazy cost amount for an item that should be replaced on a millage interval. I know OEM or genuine of whatever you call it are the best but if you have an alternative/quality injector source, please help.

Thanks I actually just ordered from them since I don't know the condition of the injectors in my surf rn. I see they come with a new spill/fuel return washer or whatever it's called. Did you reuse the old washer seat where the injector nozzle sits in the head?

I replaced the return washer which goes on top of the injector, and the crush washer which goes underneath - both of the washers in this picture: https://taurangadiesel.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/WKTK.jpg

I can't remember if they both came with the injectors - they might have been only the return washer?

I didn't replace the seats, as everything I read said that they are difficult to remove from the head and that there is no reason to do so.

I looked at the picture of the injector on the website and it looks like there do come with the fuel return washers if I'm correct ill reach back out when I receive them. I'm more referring to the smaller copper washers/ crush washers. I looked up the injector seats are a pain to take out and won't be doing that either.
